Anthony Honeyball has had his eye on the Sodexo Reynoldstown Novices’ Chase for Ms Parfois ever since she won at Warwick last month.

The seven-year-old has won three of her four chase outings now and she shaped particularly well at Warwick, racing handily before winning with the minimum of fuss by five lengths.

The Dutchman will have plenty on his plate against Blaklion in the Betfred Grand National Trial at Haydock, but he can account for the Aintree favourite.

Agrapart posted his best effort for some time when winning the Cleeve at Cheltenham and he can follow up in the Betfred Rendlesham Hurdle.

Call Me Lord can make the leap to Grade Two company during the Betway Kingwell Hurdle at Wincanton.

Make Music warmed up for the Betway Handicap by taking a decent third place at Lingfield last month – and can improve on that as she returns to the Surrey track.
