Verdict

SIR MAXIMILIAN has been dropped to a lenient looking mark from the handicapper and he should get conditions to suit so he may be able to record his second win in this race. There was plenty to like about Majestic Hero's most recent run and a 4lb rise can see him remain competitive while Blithe Spirit has a formidable record at this course and shouldn't be underestimated.
  1. Sir Maximilian
