Race preview
Highwaygrey wasn't disgraced in sixth at Doncaster last time and he will appreciate this drop in grade after he was kindly dropped 2lb from the handicapper for that effort. However, preference is for course winner WHERE'S JEFF, who has hit the crossbar the last twice over 1m2f at Beverley and he should have no issue with the slight step back in trip here. Ayr Poet has won two out of his last three and should also be considered.
