Gordon to be patient with Highway

Trainer Chris Gordon says he is in no hurry to send Highway One O One into a handicap despite some positive performances.

The six-year-old has won two of his three outings since returning to action in September, coming second on his only other appearance, and he has been tipped for a step up in class.

Gordon is delighted to see his charge enjoying a good run of form but he isn’t ready to take a gamble just yet.

The Winchester trainer believes the randoxhealth.

com Henry VII Novices’ Chase at Sandown provides an interesting test, and admits they will consider future plans from there.

Gordon said: ‘I was really pleased with him at Carlisle, and it’s nice to have some good horses in the yard.

‘He has won two chase races now – and I don’t want to go in a handicap yet, because he may spend a lot of his life later on in them.

‘The only option I see for him now is to have a go at the Henry VIII at Sandown, and I think that is the obvious way forward.’
