Majestic performance expected

Majestic Times was only beaten the narrowest of margins into third in the totesport Ayr Gold Cup on his last trip to Britain two years ago and Liam McAteer believes he has him primed for another sterling effort on Saturday.

Although the seven-year-old – a 25-1 shot with the sponsors – has not won a race since a month after that performance, his trainer reports him to be showing much more sparkle before his attempt off a 3lb higher mark.
