In depth
Verdict
Majlis, Downtherefordancin and Fast King are three against the field in this selling hurdle and the vote is given to Majlis. The selection made a bad mistake last time when travelling well and he finished sixth behind Cyborg De Sou. He will be suited by this drop in trip and if he can get a clear round he should take plenty of beating. Downtherefordancin is dropped in grade after being well beaten down the field behind Red Society last time. He would have strong claims on his win in this grade at Ludlow when he beat Port Moreno, and he does have form on this ground. Fast King ran well last time but he had failed to get round on his two previous starts so he is hard to put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder, Hatteras is from a leading yard and is worth considering, but for the winner we return to Majlis.
