Verdict

Miss Honey Ryder represents Warren Greatrex but she'll need to improve from completing a Taunton double. Amy Murphy's Hawthorn Cottage looked a nice prospect when scoring at Cheltenham last April and will have needed her comeback at Aintree last month where she led for a long way. Patrick Mullins retains the ride on Aintree runner-up MINELLA MELODY, despite his stable having three entries. Henry De Bromhead's point-to-point winner was having only her second run under Rules and, with further progress likely, will be tough to beat. Jamie Codd teams up with Gordon Elliott on Bioverdia, a very impressive winner at Ballinrobe, while Derek O'Connor is on board Gypsy Island, who had no problems seeing off Yukon Lil in a Fairyhouse Listed contest.
