Heather Honey (11/4), Stratton Oakmont (7/2), Romeo Brown (4/1), Diamond Koda (6/1), Betty's Tiara (9/1), Monty Bodkin (12/1), Not A Light (14/1), Bridge North (16/1), Breezethroughlife (25/1)

The ground could prove key in an open-looking handicap, progressive HEATHER HONEY has won four of her last 6 starts (all on good ground or better) and may continue her upward trajectory, with optimism for drying conditions. Stratton Oakmont relished the test of stamina in rain-softened going at Exeter and with a few in-behind running well since, he's respected despite a 9 lb rise, while lightly raced course bumper winner Monty Bodkin merits a market check on his handicap bow.
