MEGALLAN was a smart juvenile who showed he had trained on when just failing to catch Apollo One in this grade at Lingfield. The return to a mile is definitely in his favour and there is no reason why he shouldn’t handle this surface. Ghost Rider steps up in trip and class but looks an improver and Final Voyage bids for a five-timer, though is the most exposed. Legion Of Honour easily landed the odds here in November and the second and third have both franked the form since so he should be capable of holding his own at this level.
