Verdict
MAJESTIC PRIDE will likely prove a warm order in this having finished clear of the rest when runner-up at Newmarket on his debut. The Godolphin colt is preferred to Hey Lyla, who also placed at Headquarters last month but disappointed at Kempton last time. Dancing Gypsy steps up in trip having been gelded while Al Alaali is a likely improver.
