Verdict

THE HIGHWAY RAT finished a few places behind Big Gossey in a big-field handicap at the Curragh last month, but he didn't help himself with a tardy start that day and, with his all-weather record very difficult to crab, he's fancied to gain revenge on his old rival and land this race for a second year running. Hispanic has a bit to find but he impressed on his first try on an artificial surface here in August and shouldn't be taken lightly.
