11/1
Made winning start to his career in a soft-ground Fontwell bumper (17.7f) in August. That wasn't much of a race, though, and he's probably worth taking on under a penalty.

5/1
Failed to complete sole starts in points last year but has joined a respected yard ahead of this Rules debut and he's one to note in the betting.

Finished last of 4 in a Musselburgh bumper (15.6f, heavy) on debut in February and big step forward needed.

Has hinted at ability in 2 starts for different yards 12 months apart. Still, improvement needed back from another layoff here.

Winner of sole start between the flags in February (subsequently disqualified owing to prohibited substance found in a sample). Of strong interest on Rules debut with Nico de Boinville booked.

18/1
Out of an unraced half-sister to useful chaser (stayed 3m) Valoroso and fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3m) Millanisi Boy. One to consider on debut, particularly if the market vibes are upbeat.

Limited appeal on paper and probably best watched unless the market suggests otherwise.

15/2
Yeats gelding. Dam unraced out of fairly useful hurdler/chaser (2¼m-2½m winner) Native Endurance. Yard more than capable of a readying a newcomer and he merits close attention in the betting.

Left debut form well behind when runner-up in 16.5f Market Rasen bumper in August. Reportedly suffered a wound to her right fore at Southwell next time and she's worth another chance. Hood enlisted.

Forecasts

Glory And Honour (11/10), Wait For The Lord (4/1), Any News (5/1), Salley Gardens (15/2), Little Awkward (11/1), Loch Arthur (18/1), True Spice (20/1), Fanfan La Colmine (33/1), Buckskin (100/1), Monarch O The Glen (200/1)

Verdict

First past the post in a maiden point earlier this year, GLORY AND HONOUR is a likely type on paper and the hint should be taken if there's confidence behind this 4-y-o in the betting. It's not hard to pick holes in the form of the Fontwell bumper in which Little Awkward made a winning debut and bigger threats may be posed by Wait For The Lord, Any News and Salley Gardens.
