MAJESTIC DAWN has been raised 5lb for winning over today’s trip at Nottingham but it was heavy going on that occasion and another bold bid looks on the cards given the prevailing ground. Kuwait Currency scored over a mile at Kempton earlier but has plenty to prove over this extra distance judged on earlier attempts and Severance is preferred having placed over 1m4f on the all-weather last time. Chilean has shown little so far this year but Dalgarno will handle the underfoot conditions on the evidence of his winning form when trained in France.
