This is a much sharper track than Pontefract, where all of Highwaygrey’s victories to date have come. But Tim Easterby’s charge is a strong traveller, though raised a further 5lb. Gabrial The One usually runs well here but is almost certainly better over further. Tonyx was far too keen over a mile at Newcastle and will need to settle better here but he remains unexposed while Strait Of Hormuz tries a new trip. BERKSHIRE SAVVY (NAP) is not well drawn and will need luck in-running but it would be no surprise to see the improving three-year-old come storming through in the closing stages if there is a strong pace. Music Seeker is a reliable sort but still looks a few pounds too high.
