Melissa Honey
MELISSA HONEY looks as good as ever, and she gets the vote in an open-looking finale. Elvetham and Moonhall Lass should be in the mix, with unexposed Bridget's Baby not discounted.

Off the mark in smooth style in big-field handicap at Doncaster last month. Only picked off by a more-patiently ridden rival when bidding to follow up at Pontefract. Fourth has franked that form and she may well resume winning ways.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosPontefract6fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat2/11Doncaster6f 2yGood to FirmFlat1/16Leicester7fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat3/11Southwell6f 16yStandardFlat4/10Southwell6f 16yStandardFlat6/9- 1(7)Moonhall LassJ: Daniel MuscuttT: James Owen3118831Age 411/411/43/1

Often starts slowly. Back on the up when successful in first-time visor over 7f here last time. Manner of that victory suggests she'll go close off 4 lb higher, though the potential for a steadily-run race tempers confidence.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLeicester7fGood to FirmFlat1/5Chepstow7f 16yGoodFlat3/7Doncaster6f 2yGood to FirmFlat8/16Windsor6f 12yGood to FirmFlat8/14Salisbury6fGood to FirmFlat1/7- 2(6)ElvethamJ: George WoodT: Conrad Allen7133320Age 47/27/210/3

Won twice on the all-weather this spring. Posted string of fine placed efforts prior to finishing well held in higher grade at Newmarket last time. Bounce back looks likely on return to calmer waters, and he merits serious consideration.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewmarket (july)6fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat12/16Yarmouth6f 3ySoftFlat2/9Thirsk6fGoodFlat3/10Windsor6f 12yGood to FirmFlat3/14Kempton Park6fStandard / SlowFlat3/11- 3(3)Due DateJ: Kieran O'NeillT: Charlie Wallis-780776Age 67/17/18/1

Successful in C&D classified event during productive 2025.

Best effort when modest fifth in Windsor novice (6f). Raced freely when well held on handicap debut there (5f) since, and it's hard to be confident she'll fare better back up in trip.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWindsor5f 21yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat7/10Windsor6f 12yGood to FirmFlat5/10Lingfield Park6fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat4/6Southwell6f 16yStandardFlat8/13
