In depth
Verdict
Majeski Man has been knocking on the door again lately but probably prefers a faster surface nowadays. Society Lion was second on soft ground at Thirsk but Media Guest, another course winner, may still be a couple of pounds too high. Dark Side Thunder has won his last three on the all-weather and was second on Turf in the spring but TIME STEP has scope now handicapping and can get his head back in front today with Libertine Belle preferred to the returning Laheg of the others.
