Bounced back to best to score over hurdles at Market Rasen (18.6f) in August but never a threat returned to the level at Newcastle (10.2f) 9 days ago but return to further rates a likely plus.

11/1

Fair bumper winner. Lightly raced maiden on Flat, fourth of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (9.2f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Step up in trip should suit on pedigree and no surprise to see a better showing.

Forecasts

De Mazzaro (3/1), Near Kettering (3/1), Myboymax (7/2), Three Castles (8/1), Iolani (8/1), Hear Me Out (11/1), Sarvi (18/1), Robert Johnson (22/1), Mr Luigi (150/1)

MYBOYMAX has made a bright start for Micky Hammond, landing handicaps at Yarmouth/Catterick prior to a solid third over 1½m at Thirsk on his latest start 4 weeks ago. He gets the nod to come out on top now tackling this longer trip, with Hamilton-scorer De Mazzaro and low-mileage Hear Me Out fancied to pose the chief threats.
