Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Glory And Honour
Glory And Honour shares the top rating of 114 with Hopeless Dancer and Dinons, so this is tight, but he gets the nod on a fitness edge, a proven record on this good ground and a more solid book of form than his equal-rated rivals. Hopeless Dancer and Dinons are the obvious dangers on identical figures, while Coded Welder, five pounds back on 109, is the other to take seriously over the 20 furlongs at Hexham. With three horses level at the top the margin for error is slim, but proven conditions favour a runner whose credentials on the day look the most reliable. Glory And Honour is our selection.
