Verdict

GRIS MAJEUR is the solid one after a win and good second from his 2 outings this season. A point background suggests Maximum Offers should take to fences and he's a potentially dangerous opponent having built a solid platform for handicaps in his 4 hurdle starts. Wicked Thoughts is another interesting recruit to the chasing ranks having won a point at the start of his career.
