Verdict
Honor And Pleasure arrives on the back of a double on the all-weather tracks in France and William Buick’s presence takes the eye. PROTECTED GUEST has been in good form over shorter trips in tough handicaps and has the beating of Fair Star and Winklevi on earlier form. He stays 1m6f and a chance is taken George Margarson’s charge lasts home. King's Advice posted a one of his better efforts at Wolverhampton last week while Catbird Seat won a lower grade contest at the same track last month. Author's Dream, Sea Of Charm and Progressive, a dual winner over hurdles, step up in distance.
