      Verdict

      The Easterbys have MY HONEY B (NAP) firing on all cylinders and she may well complete the four-timer here raised only 2lb for beating a subsequent winner at Nottingham earlier this month. Earlier victories at Hamilton and Beverley have also been franked. Shot Of Love seems to have gone off the boil again but Pearly Star could be interesting having won on good ground at Chester in June while the lightly-raced Lunanera easily justified favouritism at Chepstow and should have more to offer. Abravaggio was beaten off this mark when on a hat-trick at Yarmouth last Sunday but still looks the pick of the remainder.
