A trappy little nursery this but it may pay to chance MAJESTIC MAC. Hughie Morrison's colt won stylishly at Epsom penultimately before facing a strong field off 10lb higher and struggling next. He gets 2lb back today and this looks easier overall so he must have a chance and his ground versatility is a plus. Dark Thunder has strong form overall and may well have got the nod if fast conditions were assured but Saturday's downpours are a little concerning with his Chester run on soft slightly below par. Aspire Tower will appreciate soft conditions and represents a yard who do well in this race.
