Dual winner Silver Samurai has been going well but has to race from a wide berth while Lincoln Park, an easy winner at Southwell in March, is another with a double-figure draw. The veteran SIR MAXIMILIAN has a cracking record around here and is well handicapped. He hasn't been running well but takes a big drop in class and can add to his four track victories. Praxeology has a 5lb penalty for last week's comfortable Southwell success but Black Friday has only been raised 1lb for scoring at Musselburgh in October, his third victory of the summer. National League found a mile and Class 2 company too much to handle at Newbury and is better judged on his earlier efforts over this trip.
