Several promising types on show, with HONKY TONK HIGHWAY the pick on the back of a highly encouraging hurdles debut second to a potentially smart novice at Warwick. The bumper she landed here in March was a decent contest (the second and third have both won over hurdles since) and she is open to plenty of improvement. French recruit Epinephrine is of strong interest, while Hartington, who improved when scoring at Newbury, and bumper winner Juby Ball also enter calculations.
