Verdict

GLORY AND HONOUR has recaptured his form this season and with 10-lb claimer Rebecca Hitchen retaining the ride, is fancied to notch a second win of the campaign. Loriko has had a productive summer but his mark now looks on the harsh side for winning a couple of thin, small-field events. However, he can still prove the biggest threat ahead of Ladies Day.

1	Beat his sole rival at Huntingdon in May, before also landing the odds in a Uttoxeter novice (2m) a month later. Almost landed the hat-trick at Market Rasen next time before being seen to good effect to scrape home in a 3-runner race there 25 days ago.
