Network railcard 10am "break of journey" question

[kentrailman]

Apologies if this has been asked before. I can't find it in a search.

Journey is from A to C via B.

The return fares A to C return and B to C return are almost identical so for the return journey later I want my ticket to be from A to C return.

Train leaves A at 0930 then change trains at B onto a train that leaves at 1005

Can I buy a railcard return from A to C not valid until 10am and a non railcard single from A to B valid before 10am and make the journey leaving A at 930 using the non railcard single and then use railcard ticket from A on the B to C trip which leaves after ten even though I couldn't have reached B by ten on my railcard ticket ?

( By the way, A is Folkestone, B is Ashford and C is Portsmouth via Barnham)

This sounds perfectly valid to me. The Network Railcard weekday restriction is that you can't travel before 10am and break of journey is permitted on all of the walk-up fares for the journey in question. Therefore, starting en-route after 10am and buying a separate undiscounted ticket for your travel before 10am means you are entirely compliant with this restriction.
