This is no easy to call, despite the small field. Mystical Knight has a bit to prove at present but was once held in high regard, though is better on an easy surface. GOODTHYNEAWAY couldn’t cope with a further weight rise at Uttoxeter but had won well earlier at Southwell when Well Smitten failed to complete so gets another chance, though Hit The Highway could make a race of it receiving 13lb.
