Verdict
MAJURO looks the one to beat here. Frank Sheridan's charge has won three of his last four starts with his latest six-length defeat of Dream Of Fortune at Wolverhampton looking his best effort so far. He's preferred to the The Which Doctor, who is dropped in class and comes out slightly better at the weights but struggles to get his head in front nowadays. Faithful Ruler has a bit to find with the selection on earlier running, but Negotiation has place claims if his recent below-par effort at Kempton is ignored.
