        Verdict

        Double Honour looked a progressive stayer when putting up a number of top class efforts including runner-up in the Goodwood Cup but has been less than convincing of late and was well beaten in France last time. First Ballot carried a big weight to victory on his Newmarket return but had his limitations exposed in Listed company next time. However, the step up in trip may suit while useful Cover Up has sound claims at the weights and rates a danger.
