Verdict

The vote goes to PERCEVAL LEGALLOIS, who failed to land a glove on Maxxum over this C&D during the Christmas period but he was returning from a 3-month break that day and enjoys a significant pull at the weights with Gordon Elliott's charge. Maxxum is nevertheless accorded a great deal of respect, as he's clearly progressive and should make a bold bid to complete the hat-trick, despite shooting up the weights. However, if Lucky Max sees this trip out he could emerge as the main danger.

  1. PERCEVAL LEGALLOIS (FR)
  2. LUCKY MAX (GER)
  3. MAXXUM (IRE)
