Honourary Gift is a fine big embryonic chasing type whose future will undoubtedly lie over fences. However he marked himself out as a horse to follow in the immediate future when taking the NH Flat Race at Sedgefield on 21st October for Peter Fahey under jockey Roger Loughran. Held up towards the rear he travelled well and made good headway half a mile from home before responding well to pressure to stay on in game fashion to get up and win going away at the line. Significant improvement from this debut effort will surely be forthcoming and he rates an interesting long-term prospect for new connections.
