Verdict

The Honeyball team remain in good form and this more than likely represents a good chance for LE COEUR NET to get off the mark over fences after a soft unseating of the rider last time out when he was going well. Most of the opposition comes with question marks against them although there are one or two that could progress such as Torhousemuir who looks as though he could be better over fences and Lickpenny Larry as long as his quirks can be kept in check. Trojan Star now tried in a first-time visor has run some of his better races here but remains one to treat with caution while Norse Light is of interest returned to fences back off his last winning mark.
  1. Le Coeur Net
  2. Torhousemuir
  3. Norse Light
