CASH FOR HONOURS may be able to scoop the pot in the finale with Dee Cee Elle and Gallant Hero amongst the dangers. The selection has something to prove having fallen when favourite at Exeter in April before running no race at Towcester under a fortnight later. There are certainly races to be won with him from his current rating if connections can get his career back on the right path and this might be the time to chance him as he returns to action tried in a tongue strap. Dee Cee Elle was well held when last seen over hurdles in June but she has since run well on the level at Wolverhampton and is capable of holding her own in this company; the market may guide. Gallant Hero looks sure to be suited by the drop back in trip having failed to get home at Hereford in the week and he's well handicapped on his old form. Le Toto stepped up on previous efforts to make the frame at Newton Abbot and could go close if taking another step forwards but we'll take a chance with the undoubtedly well handicapped Cash For Honours.
