Pledge Of Honour – supported at Newmarket
PLEDGE OF HONOUR steps up in trip to 1m4f for the first time when running at Newmarket this afternoon (3.40pm) in a six-runner 12f handicap and the increase in distance could well suit.
He was running on last time out over 1m2f, suggesting the extra two furlongs could be to the five-year-old’s advantage.
The Shamardal gelding is well handicapped, being a pound below his winning mark at Newbury last season. The mount of Shane Kelly has been well supported into 3/1 second favourite and the yard’s horses are knocking at the door. Hopefully, today the door will open!
