Verdict
A tricky finale but TRUCKERS HIGHWAY has been dropped another 2lb, despite finding some form lately, and is still capable at this level so may represent a bit of value. Twojayslad won in a much higher grade at Doncaster but that was a conditionals’ race against fellow veterans. Knocknamona is a mud-lover in good form while Picknick Park and Hugo's Reflection are both previous course and distance winners. Wetherby scorer Light Flicker found 2m an insufficient test last month and Palixandre still has some scope with Easy Bucks and Wye Aye others likely to be thereabouts.
