Formscan - HEATHER HONEY has won a third of all her starts over hurdles and that reliability combined with proven stamina earns her the vote. Spit Spot is another effective stayer who needs to be taken seriously, with this representing a drop in class. Freshers Week and Hard Dealt are still of low mileage and support in the betting for either could prove to be significant. Inflexible's past form is noteworthy and he shouldn't be underestimated, despite resuming for a new yard after a lengthy break.
