Formscan  - Having made a winning return to fences at Hexham last month, I Am Max could put his experience in this discipline to good use. A 3lb nudge up the ratings shouldn't prevent another bold display but there some interesting chasing debutants on show, with MR HOPE STREET topping the bill. The seven-year-old was progressive in handicap company last season and can improve further. The Jukebox Kid and Laganhill also require a second look.
