Glory And Fortune tanked through the two mile handicap, Europe’s richest handicap hurdle, forcing his way to the front under Stan Sheppard and fought bravely from there as the Tom Lacey-trained seven-year-old held off the late challenge of I Like To Move It to win in thrilling style.
Second behind Epatante in the Christmas Hurdle at Kempton on his previous start, the Fame And Glory gelding will likely now step back into Grade 1 company to contest the Unibet Champion Hurdle at next month’s Cheltenham Festival.

Last Saturday's race marked the twenty fifth anniversary of Make A Stand's front running win and made a fortune by landing the Champion Hurdle. Glory And Fortune could emulate it. This race was formerly sponsored by Tote and before that Schweppes.
Refreshing to get winning interviews from those with perhaps, on average, less horse-power to compete with. Both spoke well, I thought.
2nd to Epetante was solid form
I don't know the exact rules, but Sam Twiston Davies' whip action looked rough there. Proper windmilling it. Glad it didn't win.

Don’t waste you time with Cheltenham hurdle – you will ruin this horse by doing that, probably end up pulling up – why not just look for another graded race somewhere else not aintree either 😉
Sammy is the strongest jockey in a finish about right now, was throwing everything at his horse. I do think he hit it about 5 too many times tho.
Another boost for the Jonbon form
Glory and Fortune was a snip at the weights.
Jonbons form has took 3 boosts now, I’m in the constitution hill camp but can’t help be doubtful of the form.
