Ask A Honey Bee and Beatthebullet both ran in the Albert Bartlett at Cheltenham. The former finished tailed off but at least completed, unlike the latter who was pulled up. RIGGS wasn’t stopping when runner-up to Beauport in a Grade 3 over 2m4f at Sandown last month so a first try over 3m should suit and he can be another winner for title-chasing Harry Skelton.
