      Verdict

      Lion Of War is the most exposed and a tongue-tie is applied to High Honour after disappointing at Newmarket on his handicap bow. Royal Rhyme placed at Haydock last week while the remainder go handicapping for the first time with MY LION preferred having been beaten only a head over today’s trip at Kempton on her reappearance. Rathgar won over 1m1f at Goodwood in October and makes more appeal than both Cool Party and Mindset.
