1/12
Useful form to win a similar event over C&D in May. Outpointed in a dash to the line at Ffos Las 12 days later but made the most of an excellent opportunity to quickly resume winning ways at Worcester just under 3 weeks ago. Impossible to oppose.

Yet to show any ability, tailed-off fourth in a similar event at Southwell following a wind op on reappearance just over 6 weeks ago.

10/1
Winning Irish pointer who beat only one home in a bumper on Rules debut for Brian Jordan and may have needed the run more than the market seemed to predict sent hurdling when a well-beaten third at Ludlow just under 6 weeks ago. Now tried over fences.

Remains a maiden after 17 runs but he should have finally won a race sporting first-time cheekpieces at this track 10 days ago, collared post having made most (traded 1.03 in-running). Back in novice company and looks up against it.

Forecasts

Wild Max (1/12), Hard Lines (10/1), Treacys Jim (12/1), Earth Spirit (80/1)

Verdict

This looks a penalty kick on paper for WILD MAX, who has by far and away the best form on offer so is strongly fancied to notch his third success over the larger obstacles. Irish-point winner Hard Lines has offered little on both outings under Rules so far but he looks the obvious beneficiary should the favourite fluff his lines.
