Verdict

MAXMINELLI backed up his previous best with a tongue strap retained when third in a Down Royal maiden 6 weeks ago and with this longer trip worthy of exploring on handicap debut, he looks to hold solid claims. Themis left her previous exploits behind when landing a C&D maiden 3 weeks ago and is another fancied to play a leading role.
