Racing Post Ratings: Steve Mason

Truckers Highway (2.45 Bangor, nap)

Successful off a 7lb higher mark at Worcester in October and could prove very well-treated if a recent wind operation has been beneficial.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

The Young Master (4.05 Ayr)

Has not won for two years but ran encouragingly at the Cheltenham Festival and is well handicapped on the best of his earlier career efforts.

Longshot: Ed Quigley

Keeper Hill (2.20 Ayr)

Let down by jumping issues in recent runs, but has the potential to be better than a mark of 143 on ground that will suit.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

Warnaq (4.10 Limerick)

A six length winner over one mile at Navan two weeks ago, the Matthew Smith-trained four-year-old has already won over the 1m4f trip. She can cope with her 9lb hike in the ratings and gets the vote to score under Wayne Lordan.

Raceform Interactive nugget
