Mr Maxx is by Cape Cross out of a winning miler and made a very satisfactory start behind Agincourt at Ripon on Monday. He'll know much more here while Bertog's experience will stand him in good stead after several solid runs in decent handicaps. Carry On is a half-brother to three winners but makes a belated racecourse debut as does STEALTH FIGHTER. However the latter, a 130,000gns Godolphin purchase, can make a successful start.
