In depth
Verdict
Majhud has already shown enough encouragement to suggest that she can get off the mark in a race of this nature, and she is taken to get the better of Essnaad and Super Cannes. The John Dunlop-trained filly should relish this mile and a half trip and should have too much for Essnaad with he 5lb fillies allowance implemented today. Super Cannes will not have to be anything out of the ordinary to hold Kartuzy, who is taken to be the best of the rest with experience.
