Forecasts

Honey Badger (4/1), Beepeecee (5/1), Lucky Lodge (7/1), Zenovia (7/1), Bell Heather (7/1), Kafoo (8/1), Noble Ballad (8/1), Bush Beauty (12/1), Know Your Name (14/1)

Verdict

HONEY BADGER has been given a break since finish third at Newcastle in November and he can win for the second time in his last three starts by taking this 7f event. The selection has won twice over this distance in the past and can see off Bell Heather who is likely to appreciate the drop in trip today and is chasing her third win in six starts here. Top wight Beepeecee ran better than the bare result suggests at Lingfield last time and can finish third today.
  1. Honey Badger
