My Honey B made a winning debut on the all-weather when scoring at Southwell but HADLEY PARK is less exposed. The latter came good at Chelmsford on his handicap debut a couple of days ago and can defy a penalty given the ease of that success. Sweet Fortune won over track and trip in August but disappointed back here last time while Dragonball Prince and Corsican Caper make most appeal of those handicapping for the first time.
