Verdict
Honoured returned a losing favourite when attempting to follow up a C&D win and has three lengths to make up with the third Cosmic Halo on that running. Renegotiate was getting plenty of weight when pushing multiple winner La Estrella all the way to the line in a claimer here last week while Strike Force has looked in the handicapper's grip since winning at Lingfield in November. BRADBURY has joined one of the leading jumps trainers in Donald McCain and has his first run on the Flat since finishing a creditable sixth in the Cesarewitch in September. He's won three times over today's shorter trip and should go very close in this company.
