Verdict

Winning pointer Time Is Honey was making her debut under Rules when a close third here on Boxing Day. She hasn’t raced since but would have a good chance today if fully wound-up. EYREN has also had a break since finishing tailed off in a Grade 2 bumper at Aintree in April but she will have had plenty of schooling and should make a hurdler. Perfectly Honest has undergone wind surgery since her third in a Bangor maiden last month and will likely figure if the operation has had the desired effect.
