In depth

Verdict

Majuro has been in fine form on the all-weather this year but his last four wins have been in plating company and this could prove beyond him. Esprit De Midas will strip fitter for a recent pipe-opener and he has the past form on this surface to figure, while Almahaza nearly defied a 10lb rise in the weights last time but all four course wins have come over a mile and he's been raised a further 3lb. Icelandic makes his Fibresand debut, but MASAI MOON is a C&D winner and he gets the vote dropped in class for his return to action.
