Verdict
HEREWEGOHONEY was helped by both rivals failing to complete at Catterick on her chasing bow but took to the larger obstacles well enough and can compete off a similar mark in this. Juniper has won over hurdles since winning over fences at Warwick and is 8lb higher today while Gazette Bourgeoise steps back up in trip having come up short at Cheltenham. Good Look Charm is fitted with a tongue-tie and Brian Hughes presence suggests she can go well but Sadie Hill has struggled lately.
