MAJED looks the ideal type to make a successful handicap debut in the Best Racing Odds Guaranteed At BetMGM Handicap (6.00) over a mile and three furlongs at Southwell.
The addition of cheekpieces on his third and most recent start in November appeared to have the desired effect, when the son of Magna Grecia took a striking victory at Wolverhampton over a mile and half a furlong.
He beat Bold Style going away by a length and a half, and that rival has gone on to win since.
While this is a step up in grade, after a 94-day break the John and Thady Gosden-trained three-year-old arrives fresh and the extra trip should suit him.
DAVID’S DIVA has notched up d a hat-trick of victories since the end of December, culminating in a career-best success at Wolverhampton 10 days ago, getting up late on to win by a head from Circles.
