Verdict

Song At Twilight finished last on her reappearance at Chelmsford and was due to run in the 2.30 at Yarmouth yesterday. HIGHWAY ONE has never won on Turf on the Flat but scored over hurdles here in December and over the trip on Polytrack last month when dead-heating so get the nod. Lucky Draw is 3lb out of the handicap but ran easily her best race to date at Newcastle last month. Winning bumper Steel An Icon has been finding this trip on the short side though easier ground conditions should aid her cause but Southwell winner Dulcima races on Turf for the first time. Triple Nickle won over hurdles in March but ran poorly back on the level at Chepstow.
