      Verdict

      Goodison Park has not shown any sweet performances so far, but the trip may suit Magic Millie and appearing for a first time in a handicap we side with HONOURED. Sir Mark Prescott often finds the right debut handicap races for his horses and this looks like it could be another special effort. Honoured has shown little so far in maidens but stepped up in trip and entering handicap company for the first time could signal a first victory is on the cards here. Magic Millie should appreciate the trip given her pedigree but has somewhat disappointed in handicaps so far this year with a best effort possibly being shown at Nottingham when runner up over this sort of distance. Goodison Park may have more to offer but does not inspire us to choose her today. This is a relatively weak final race on the card which we think could go the way of Honoured.
