Melissa Honey¹⁷

6/1

Showing signs of improvement in recent handicaps after struggling in novice company last year. Ran well to finish third of 12 in 7f handicap at Haydock (16/1) 17 days ago, travelling fluently before meeting traffic 2f out. Stepping down in class and 7f suits well. Leading player.

Law Degree^p¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby| OR: 58| D

3/1

Won twice in nurseries last year. Promising fifth of 9 in a handicap at Doncaster (15/2) 34 days ago, beaten just 1¼ lengths. Tenth of 11 in stronger handicap at Windsor over 8f (25/1) 12 days ago, raced freely and effort flattened out. This is easier and he can go well.

Forecasts

Law Degree (3/1), Tuscan Point (3/1), Wadacre Maestro (5/1), South Road (6/1), Melissa Honey (6/1), Bantz (7/1), Gesundheit (12/1), Monetize (28/1), Our Nicola (33/1)

LAW DEGREE is better judged on his promising Doncaster fifth than his recent Windsor run in a Racing League handicap when racing too freely. He can return to form with victory back down in trip. Melissa Honey is improving and caught the eye when third at Haydock despite traffic trouble, while Bantz can bounce back in this grade.
