Sir Maximilian is in the veteran stage now but bids for a third course victory and has the inside berth. The likes of Shawaamekh and Almufti have been less fortunate in the draw but both could play a part granted luck in-running. Lincoln Park arrives in decent form and is back on the mark off which he won over course and distance in May of last year but REVICH is just preferred. Richard Spencer’s charge has run a couple of decent races at Newmarket this year and should be capable of going close here dropped a further pound. The same stable’s Magical Ride could also figure.
