In depth
Verdict
GLORY AND HONOUR won a maiden point in February by 15 lengths but was disqualified after testing positive for a banned substance. Now with Tom Lacey, he clearly has ability and can make a winning start under Rules. Little Awkward won’t go down without a fight, however, as he travelled strongly throughout when easily winning at Fontwell in August. Wait For The Lord and Buckskin have shown promise and Any News could be a useful recruit for Neil Mulholland. Salley Gardens may be the pick of the newcomers.
