A modest seller where MAJESTIC STYLE is only a token selection against Lord Of The Storm and Livia Quarta. The half-sister to Seven No Trumps chased home Geesala at Pontefract to a respectful distance earlier in the year but struggled to build upon that level of form. She does have to reverse form with Lord Of The Storm on their recent meeting at Leicester but is much better off at these weights and will have the benefit of the useful Harry Bentley taking off another 7lb from the saddle. The aforementioned Bill Turner runner is from a family of plating sprinters so given previous evidence, an improvement for a step up in trip was probably quite a surprise to connections. Livia Quarta has course form though the time figure, baring in mind that the going was on the fast side, was exceptionally modest. Coolree Pearl ran lamentably in a selling contest over course-and-distance though Jamie Spencer's booking is worthy of note. Dancing With Fire has been well turned over in plating company on a couple of occasions and it is somewhat regretable that he is considered best of the rest. Not a race to linger too long over and Majestic Style looks to be the best of what are a seriously ordinary bunch.
