Formscan By John O'Riordan - A five-time winner at this track, THE HIGHWAY RAT has every chance of adding a sixth success. Rated as high as 108 in his prime, the Andy Oliver-trained seven-year-old can always be relied on to run his race at this venue. In excellent form since returning on turf at the start of the season, he can be expected to continue that improvement now back on his favoured surface. In a race where a strong pace is virtually guaranteed, Ben Coen can pick up the pieces late on. Runner-up in a Listed race here last October. Revoke would have every chance if able to replicate that form. Eclairage is a speedy filly that shouldn't be discounted from her favourable low draw.
