In depth

Verdict

Carrigmoorna Rowan beat a subsequent hurdles winner between the flags a year ago but was a beaten favourite on his debut under Rules at Exeter in November and hasn’t been seen since. Forlano is improving with experience and Country Lady and Ikalimix have scope but HIGHWAY ONE O FIVE’s third at Kempton has been franked and Chris Gordon’s half-brother to four winners can open his account here.
