      Verdict

      Majestic Hero went up 5lb for winning here last month and has performed well in both subsequent starts, though has gone up another 3lb. JAYWALKER (NAP) had been threatening to win before doing so at Sandown a couple of weeks ago where he had too much pace for Major Pusey. That was only his fifth start and the assessor may have been lenient with just a 3lb rise so a quick double looks on the cards. Excellent George showed decent form in stronger company last season and, though unraced since September, his trainer knows how to get one ready.
