MAJURO has been in fine form in similar company of late with a second on the Fibresand at Southwell separating a couple of wins on Polytrack. He comes out best at the weights here and is worth sticking with. Faithful Ruler is another in winning form at this level but only just got the better of Dream Of Fortune at Lingfield last time despite the favourable terms and that pair are closely matched again here. Song To The Moon could figure dropped in class and John Veale has place claims after finding 1m2f too far at Kempton on Wednesday.
