Formscan  - Sir Maxi, a winner over C&D as a juvenile, is likely to prove popular after his latest second over 7f at Haydock. However, 6f these days may prove on the sharp side, with a wide draw unlikely to help too. With that in mind, a chance is taken on LORD ABAMA, who should appreciate a return to this distance having found a drop to 5f against him at Beverley recently. The in-form Patontheback is another viable alternative.
