      Verdict

      Megara beat Golly Miss Molly over track and trip last month but could only manage second stepped up in class last week. The latter is weighted to reverse running and could also go well but a chance is taken that SAINT HONORE stays this longer trip. Pat Phelan's filly has been in fine form over middle-distances winning three of her last four starts and should be bang there at the finish if her stamina holds out. Lucky Jim was placed over 2m at Kempton last time but Belrog remains 6lb higher than his earlier win at Chelmsford and steps back up in trip.
