HONEY BADGER has gone close in both starts since returning to action for a new trainer. Michael Herrington’s charge may prove good enough this time. Tasaaboq could only manage fifth here during the week while Monsieur Royale and Royal Caper have yet to take advantage of a slide down the weights. Course regular Caledonian Gold has yet to win in 20 starts but Isntshesomething scored both here and at Musselburgh early this year and is 3lb higher today.
