Race preview
MEDAL OF HONOUR was kept busy as a juvenile but his defeat of a subsequent winner at the Curragh in May suggested that he may improve this year. A 5lb rise for that success appears to be fair and he has to be given the utmost respect. Bucky Larson is another who has already had a successful year and it would be no surprise to see him in the mix again, while Lethal Power and War Hero also make the shortlist.
