Verdict
Glory And Honour, who won on the all-weather last month, could be interesting if taking to fences on his first start for new connections. Post No Bills has bags of chasing experience but has just gone off the boil a little lately. FRINGILL DIKE is something of a Hexham specialist but was impressive at that track on his chasing bow and could record a first victory today away from the Northumberland course as Peaceful Sunday was still beaten 25 lengths when second of three at Perth and Cardamon Hill has left Gordon Elliott since last seen.
