Verdict
PILLAR OF STEEL keeps on winning and while conditions are in her favour can defy a 5lb rise for her Stratford success. She had See The Sea over five lengths behind at Uttoxeter earlier and should confirm the form but Glory And Honour will be better for his run in the Grade 3 Silver Trophy at Chepstow and takes a big drop in class. Peaked Too Soon was in double-winning form in the summer and looked on the way back at Warwick after wind surgery.
