HONKY TONK HIGHWAY (7) always looked to be doing enough when winning a Mares Listed event in testing conditions over course and distance four weeks ago. Likely to have more to offer now entering handicap company off a potentially lenient mark. Selected to continue her ascendancy. Comfortable Uttoxeter maiden hurdle winner OH MY JOHNNY (8) cannot be ignored on handicap debut. HARDY DU SEUIL (3) needs to be included racing off the same mark as when second in a handicap hurdle on his reappearance at Carlisle (2m1f) early last month. The in-form NAVAJO INDY (4) is 9lb higher than when winning a valuable handicap at Newbury 35 days ago. Cannot be ignored down in grade.
