Verdict
ADVENTUREMAN made all over course and distance last month and may be capable of confirming that form with third Lukoutoldmakezebak, despite worse terms. Highwayman beat Cookie Ring won another division of the same handicap, beating Cookie Ring, but in a slower time and Jonathan Fisher’s mount is now 6lb higher. Hitman has only won over 7f so far but was making his all-weather debut when seventh in a better race here five weeks ago and wouldn’t need to improve much on that effort to take a hand in the finish. Nature Boy also has a squeak but Dreamofdiscovery may need this.
