5/1

Last of 9 in handicap (12/1) at Thirsk (7f, heavy) 40 days ago. Remains to be seen whether this significant step up in trip helps her to stage a revival.

Honeymooner¹⁴

6/4

Made all at Windsor (1m) in July and relished the step up to this trip when back to winning ways at Bath a fortnight ago. Did that very easily so a 6 lb rise looks more than fair.

Forecasts

Honeymooner (6/4), Finest Leader (13/8), Monteria (9/4), Croeso Cymraeg (4/1), Heat Of The Moment (5/1)

Two well-handicapped 3-y-os clash here. FINEST LEADER improved again when only narrowly denied by a fellow improver (pair 7 lengths clear) at Kempton last week and is preferred to Honeymooner, who looks to have got off lightly with just a 6lb rise for her comfortable Bath success.
