      Verdict

      I’m Wiser Now could give a boost to Fishy Story’s Stratford second earlier on the card but HIGHWAY JEWEL will probably win this in a canter if she reproduces her second to the useful Latenightpass at Warwick. The winner went on to finish fourth here in the Foxhunter and was then second in the Aintree equivalent while the third is a Grade 1 winner over hurdles. Bradley Gibbs’ mare has won her last five starts between the flags. African Belle finished tailed off on her only previous run under Rules but she is better than that and could reward each-way support. Miss Seagreen looks best of the rest.
