TRUCKERS HIGHWAY made a winning reappearance at Uttoxeter and boasts an excellent strike-rate so is unlikely to be far away again. Successor won at Wexford in July when trained by Joseph O’Brien while Robinshill is starting to look well handicapped. Field Exhibition probably produced a career-best at Hereford last week but that’s earned him a penalty and King Alfonso, who only won a claiming chase at Ffos Las four days ago, also carries 7lb extra. The going will suit Cesar Collonges and he’s unexposed but may just need this.
