      Verdict

      Miss Macnamara is 10lb higher than when third over 2m here in June and is only getting 3lb from the in-form SERENITY NOW (NAP), taking Craig Gallagher's claim into account. Brian Ellison's seven-year-old has won twice on the level since winning over course and distance in June and should take all the beating in this. Willem has yet to win a race since arriving from France and is in danger of becoming disappointing while Celtic Monarch has find life tough since winning a seller here in the summer.
