    Verdict

    A small field could be reduced further with Barnaviddaun engaged in the Ffos Las 2.20 yesterday. ASK A HONEY BEE, a winner of three bumpers and two hurdles, has finished second in both starts to date over fences and will be a very short price if facing only the two Mark Gillard runners.
