In depth

Verdict

HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN, who has a smart middle-distance pedigree, made a fine start to her career when runner-up to the well-supported and more-experienced Sollertia on heavy going at Roscommon and should have few problems going one better The remaining pair with experience have shown nothing so one of the newcomers may pose the main threat. Optional Necessity is a half-sister to the Listed winner Lexington Times while Lady Camelot is a half-sister to a 1m1f winner and Lorente should be ideally suited to this trip on her debut.
