MEDAL OF HONOUR keeps running into smart opposition as he did when well beaten by The Pentagon at the Curragh. He's never raced on ground with give but should be suited and can finally get off the mark. Impactful is the obvious danger having made a promising debut behind the odds-on Battle Of Jericho at Leopardstown where he attracted good support. He'll have come on for the experience and it will be a surprise if any of the remainder can split the principals with Spiorad Saoirse perhaps the best of them.
