Anthony Honeyball has sent Taunton winner DOUBLE ACCORD (NAP) up on the long trip from Dorset. She is 6lb higher but David Noonan's claim halves the extra and she is still getting 11lb from course specialist Beyondtemptation. Jonathan Haynes' mare made a bold bid to try and make all over 3m off her new mark here last time but was picked off in the closing stages and has never won on ground this quick. Faster conditions are also a concern for supporters of lightly-raced Sedgefield winner Monbeg Dolly but Fairy Theatre is interesting making her handicap debut as she was second over this track and trip in October.
