Handsome King is the benchmark in this maiden rated 62 but despite putting in his best effort last time the play is made for MAJESTIC BRIGHT. Luca Cumani's runner came on from his debut run to find just one the better over course and distance and with the winner that day now rated in the 70's he looks to have the beating of the first mentioned and the field. Newcomer Private Joke could be the fly in the ointment with a number of smart relations and hailing from a yard who can get them ready.
