Highway One O One is on a long losing run but is a previous course winner and he was only beaten half-a-length over hurdles at Market Rasen in March. MAC TOTTIE was second in this grade at Ayr in April after winning at Newbury. He’s taken well to fences and could be one to follow this year. Anemoi won twice around this time last year but is having a first run since February for a new yard and Pilbara is 0-8 over the larger obstacles.
