Divine Messenger and Choral Music won over today’s trip at Kempton earlier but neither have threatened off higher marks in a couple of subsequent outings. This looks a slightly easer task for the former but MAJESTIC MOON has slipped down the weights having won off a 6lb higher mark last year and a better effort at Southwell last time suggests Julia Feilden’s charge could go close today. Zapateado is another that looks high enough in the handicap and returns from a lay-off.
