Race preview

OLYMPIC HONOUR made a successful start to his handicap hurdle career under Isabel Williams at Fakenham, and can do the business for his trainer's other daughter Eleanor here. The four-year-old won off just a 2lb lower mark at Gowran Park when with his former handler and could be well treated. Mac Ailey' strike-rate of one win from 20 starts is a worry but it's not through lack of trying and he went close at Doncaster last time. Menin Gate's hat-trick attempt ended in failure at Bath, but he must not be written off just yet.
