Returns
National Honour won the 7f novice stakes at Thirsk on good ground at an SP of 1/5F. He tracked the leader in second on the outside, was asked for his effort three furlongs out without immediate response, then was driven approaching the final furlong and made steady ground to lead inside the last 110 yards, winning comfortably by three-quarters of a length. Gold Key set the pace from the front, was driven past the two-furlong marker to go clear, but saw his lead cut inside the final furlong and was overtaken close home, with no extra to fight back. Work Like Hell finished third.
