Majeed continues in progressive fashion


20 May 2015


MAJEED made it two wins on the trot with a straightforward success in an 11-furlong handicap at Kempton.

The Khalifa Dasmal-owned five-year-old is comparatively lightly-raced but showed he is still on an upward curve with this victory - his third in seven starts.

Apprentice George Buckell claimed 5lb and proved good value with an accomplished performance aboard the gelding. 

The young rider settled Majeed at the rear of the field and the pair travelled smoothly into the business end of the race.

Trainer David Simcock's charge entered contention in the final quarter mile before challenging the favourite and long-time leader Smiling Stranger.

Majeed, a 4/1 chance, mastered that rival inside the final furlong and steamed home for a length and a half triumph.
