    Race Analysis

    HONESTY POLICY (6) brings strong staying form. Placed in the G1 Long Walk Hurdle at Ascot two starts ago before a respectable fifth in the G1 Stayers Hurdle at Cheltenham beaten 6L and looks poised for a return to winning ways tackling a flatter track. STRONG LEADER (9) resumes after three months. Already shown he can fire fresh with a Wetherby success over 3m to open the previous campaign. Serious threat. JINGKO BLUE (8) made a winning comeback trying 2m5f at Cheltenham under James Bowen. Second up profile suggests there is more to come. HIDDENVALLEY LAKE (4) has not been at his best in recent outings though his G1 credentials keep him firmly in contention.
