Verdict

It could pay to side with Paul Nicholls' Ascot scorer JAKAR DU MOULIN who showed a willing attitude there and can defy a 5 lb weights rise with few miles still on the clock. I Am Max has failed to kick on sent chasing this term but could emerge as the main danger back hurdling off a lenient-looking mark. El Galactico, High Dancer and Stone's Throw can't be dismissed either in a very open contest.
