SOMESPRING SPECIAL proved a totally different proposition away from the mud to make it third time lucky over fences at Plumpton on Sunday so, provided this doesn't come too soon, Anthony Honeyball's unpenalised 6-y-o looks the way to go at the expense of Sacre Coeur, who failed to perform in a first-time tongue strap last month and is now only 1 lb above her last winning mark. Irish-raider Je T'ai Porte rounds off the shortlist making her handicap chase debut.
