Selected at: 9/2

Majborough is a very warm order for the Arkle but the last 5yo to win it was way back in 2000 and we are going for the more experienced runner here. L’eau Du Sud has winning experience over the Arkle course and distance, is two years older and is unbeaten over fences. He’s the value play.
