Broadway Honey³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

20/1

Made an unpromising start to her career when eighth of 12 in bumper at Hereford (16.2f, good) in March, going with little fluency. Bit more like it when fifth at Market Rasen in September (16.6f) and she certainly shapes like a stayer.

Form: 8-5

5/1

€6,500 3-y-o, Order of St George mare. Half-sister to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Young Lieutenant. Winning pointer who is bred to be a stayer and she shaped that way in an Irish bumper for Brian M.McMahon. Since transferred to an in-form stable and quickly up in trip now hurdling.

Nannymooresbridge^t²²

Bred more for stamina than speed and looked one for the longer term in bumpers. This trip will help now hurdling.

Form: 95

Forecasts

A Path To Ronda (1/1), First Candidate (3/1), Followango (5/1), Kilworth (5/1), Warrioress (16/1), Broadway Honey (20/1), On Top Of The Moon (80/1), Nannymooresbridge (300/1)

FIRST CANDIDATE got it right at the second attempt in Irish points last winter and having joined Dan Skelton, hopes have to be high that she'll follow up now hurdling against her own sex. A Path to Ronda and Kilworth will both relish this trip now tackling obstacles and they head the opposition.
