In depth

Verdict

WILD MAX, a winner on the Flat and over hurdles, has taken well to fences and need only jump round to record a second success over course and distance. Hard Lines, a winning pointer, goes chasing after just one run over hurdles and can chase him home ahead of long-standing maiden Treacys Jim.
