Forecasts

Max Mayhem (4/6), Port Sunlight (7/2), Star Official (4/1), Scrum Half (6/1), Vera Verto (8/1), Moss Tucker (25/1)

MAX MAYHEM left his 2-y-o debut form well behind when a clear second on return at Cork and, with further improvement anticipated, he is an appealing alternative to likely favourite Port Sunlight. The latter did the job well when landing a Gowran maiden in October, but she looked amiss when reappearing in a listed race at Navan. Star Official may well pick up some more place money.
