LIZZIE REY escapes a penalty for last week's Southwell success and will take a bit of stopping if the cheekpieces continue to have a positive effect. Seasmoke could be a threat if his stamina holds over this significantly longer trip. Honey Jack is another likely to have a say if the addition of a tongue tie helps him to recapture the form he showed when successful at Taunton in November.
