MAJURO arrives on the back of a double at Lingfield having dead-heated with Lujeanie over 6f last week. He'd won over today's trip before that and looks the one to beat in his current form. Light From Mars continues to rise up the weights without winning but should still be thereabouts while Faithful Ruler posted an improved effort here last time and can also figure. Al Khan and Chambles look high enough in the handicap at present and may do better dropped in class today.
