Most of these have been competing against one another. Fayathaan beat Toussarok when scoring at Lingfield and also finished ahead of Falcon Brook when third over today’s trip at Newcastle last time. But MAJESTIC TEJAAN was only beaten a neck on that occasion and Richard Fahey’s filly can go one better with lots of scope for further improvement. Nortonthorpe Boy arrives in fine form and is not out of this looking for a fourth win in five outings while Donny Marlow placed over 6f at Kempton on his handicap bow and could also figure if lasting
