Verdict
Hiorne Tower has gone close over today's trip the last twice but has also been raised 6lb in the process. Winning hurdler GUARD OF HONOUR is preferred as he remains unexposed on the Flat and has also been placed over 2m at Lingfield recently. He may just edge this with the likes of course and distance winner Songsmith, Cotton Club and Four Nations all beaten since scoring over 2m earlier in the season. Absolutlyfantastic is fit from hurdling and not badly weighted back on the level.
