Verdict
Anthony Honeyball and Rex Dingle have frequently teamed up to good effect this season and the 5lb claimer was on board when Duhallow Gesture made a winning handicap debut at Fontwell with something in hand. Isabel Williams gets on well with Burn Baby Byrne while Wexford third Aasleagh Dawn looks the pick of Gavin Cromwell’s two raiders. Martila has been going well at Kelso since the turn of the year while Misty Bloom stays further so should enjoy the likely strong pace. AIMEE DE SIVOLA (NAP) just came up short on her first run in a handicap over this trip at Exeter in February. The form of that race has worked out really well and Nick Williams’s mare can shrug off a 4lb rise under Lizzie Kelly.
