Verdict

The best is surely yet to come from the well-bred MAJESTIC PRIDE, who maintained his theme of race-by-race progress when scoring on return over C&D at the Craven meeting. He is evidently held in high regard (was entered in Saturday's 2000 Guineas at the time of that success) and can take another step up the ladder. Benacre's best days may well be ahead of him, too, and he is next on the list ahead of the reliable Shouldvebeenaring.
