Formscan By Tom Weekes - Lightly-raced MAJESTIC FORCE seems fairly treated on handicap chase debut. A staying chaser-type, she finished fifth to recent Champion Hurdle winner Golden Ace at Cheltenham in March 2024, with smart mares Brighterdaysahead and Jade De Grugy finishing second and fourth respectively. Beaten just a half-length by Grade 1 winner Spindleberry last December, she scored quite readily at Wexford in March. Stablemate Amirite notably finished ahead of Wednesday’s winner James Du Berlais in the Topham at Aintree and being well suited by good ground, should also compete. Canal End is 9lb higher than when winning at Navan and would prefer easier ground while Battle It Out is 7lb higher than at Fairyhouse, where he gave a final-fence hiccup.
