Verdict

Preference is for GLORY AND HONOUR, who has eased to a handy mark returned to chasing and gets the blinkers back on which he's worn for his last 2 victories (over hurdles on latest). He gets the vote ahead of last year's winner of this race Hello Judge, while Dearkeithandkaty could be in the mix on chasing debut.

3	In reapplied blinkers, successful in handicap hurdle at Hexham (2m) in June and creditable fourth of 7 over fences there next time. Back in cheekpieces over hurdles since, but he's now 3 lb lower than for his last chase win. Makes plenty of appeal with the blinkers refitted. 1st Pick 3 Glory And Honour (Ire) Jockey: Jonathan England Trainer: Sam England J: Jonathan England T: Sam England	100	-	-	-	34%	2/1

1	Proved better than ever last season, landing this same race before following up at Hexham and also scoring back here (2m) in February. Ended the campaign on a low-key note, but this 6-time course winner commands respect on his return. 2nd Pick 1 Hello Judge Jockey: Danny Mcmenamin Trainer: Ann Hamilton J: Danny Mcmenamin T: Ann Hamilton	98	-	-	-	29%	5/2

4	Fair form in handicap hurdles, off the mark at Musselburgh (3m) in February and runner-up on 4 other occasions (including at this venue). Pulled up at Worcester when last seen in May, but he's from the family of top-class staying chaser Kemboy so is one to note going over fences. 3rd Pick 4 Dearkeithandkaty (Fr) Jockey: Jonjo O'neill Jr. Trainer: Jonjo & A.J.
