HONEY OF A KITTEN has been in fine form at Wolverhampton of late. He landed a couple of similar races over course and distance early in the year and looks one of the more reliable contenders. Consistency is not one of Conducting's strong points, but he won a seller here in September, while Gabrial's Hope recorded a double over 1m4f on the Polytrack during the spring. Abigails Angel has a shout back over today's distance but Copperwood has done all his winning so far over shorter trips.
