The Anthony Honeyball stable arrives in solid form, with three winners in the previous fortnight, and can score with handicap debutante SOMESPRING SPECIAL. The trainer’s record at Fontwell is excellent, with a one pound level-stake profit of £46 in his career. His runner here has shown enough in three hurdle efforts, including a running-on third behind a subsequent scorer at Wincanton. The step up in distance can only help her, coupled with her first foray into handicaps. She can get off the mark, moving into a mare’s event, against average rivals.

Chasing a handicap hurdle hat-trick, FLINTARA, boasts obvious appeal, despite a 7lb rise in the weights. The Kayf Tara mare couldn’t be in better form, winning over 3m2f at this venue earlier in the month. She toyed with her opposition that day, showing plenty of pace, indicating the drop in journey won’t be an issue. Soft ground is expected to aid her cause, in what looks another winnable opportunity.

DEAR DAPHNE can deliver a first victory on handicap and all-weather debut. The daughter of Tamayuz caught the eye on all three juvenile runs, improving with each start. She signed her two-year-old career off with an excellent runner-up effort on a deep surface at Leicester, behind one who wasn’t disgraced in Listed company at Saint-Cloud subsequently. She is bred to be effective on a synthetic track – a half-sister to an all-weather winner, who finished his career officially rated in the 90s.
