Pledge Of Honour – runs at Newbury
PLEDGE OF HONOUR, one of three stable runners today, deserves a change of luck and can win at the sixth time of asking under Liam Keniry.
After being placed in his first four starts, he came to win his race last time out at Windsor but jinked and unseated Joey Haynes. He is worth another chance in today’s 10f handicap and has a good each-way claim at around 13/2.
Nezar is a 33/1 shot in the 6.10 at Kempton under George Downing and has to cope with an outside draw in the 7f handicap. He is capable of giving a good account but the draw does make life difficult.
Finally, Lothario runs in the 8.15 at Kempton, a mile handicap and this three times winner over the distance, once at the Sunbury track, will appreciate dropping back down from 10 to 8 furlongs. His recent form has not been great but the return to his optimum trip should help and he has a good each-way chance at 8/1 under George Downing.
