      Verdict

      THREE START never seemed at ease on the Southwell all-weather and is forgiven the run as he's better than that. His previous performance - beaten by only a nose at Sandown - sets the form standard and he's well worth another chance. Majestic is coming along steadily but concedes weight to younger rivals and Positive Force is seen as a likelier danger after a solid enough runner-up effort in a similar affair here last month against a stable companion of the selection. Agent Sonya, a daughter of Dubawi, makes her stable debut for Karl Burke after some fair efforts in France and it will be interesting to see how the market treats her.
