WILD MAX impressed when making a winning hurdling debut and he can maintain his unbeaten record over hurdles with a victory in the second division of the novices' hurdle. Nafaayes ran well when finishing runner-up on her most recent start and a repeat of that can see her take second spot once more while third can go to France De Reve who can put a disappointing hurdles debut behind her.
