    Verdict

    The betting suggested Golly Miss Molly would return to form at Kempton last time and she duly obliged with Delagoa Bay a well behind in fifth. She's upped 5lb for that while MIGHTY THOR has been raised 7lb after scoring easily over track and trip with Feb Thirtyfirst well beaten and Grand Facile back in fourth. The latter has subsequently won so that form looks solid and Lydia Richards' charge can go in again. Megara was eight lengths behind the winner when runner-up at Chelmsford last week and Helmsman has not raced since August.
