Majeen is given the vote to land the finale for the Willie Haggas yard. The selection made a very pleasing seasonal debut where after racing promisingly for much of the journey he faded into fifth. The selection did show some promise in maidens last backend and a mark of 75 leaves him on what looks an exploitable mark. Talk Of Saafend, although finishing closer to the rear than the front last time was far from disgraced. He was strongly supported to win on his seasonal debut and just found the improved Storyland too good. A re-production of that would see him go close. House deserves utmost respect hailing from the Cumani yard on his handicap debut and if the market speaks in his favour it should prove significant. Hawaana who beat Doctor Fremantle in his maiden has not progressed as one would have expected. He disappointed in the Goffs Million at the Curragh and never got involved on his re-appearance at York. Majeen gets the vote to land the finale.
