Forecasts

I Am Maximus (2/5), Raymond Tusk (10/3), Head Law (12/1), Cardano (14/1), Essential Jaco (14/1), Crypto Currency (16/1), Jack's A Legend (33/1), Coupdebol (33/1), Sarim (40/1), Mark Of Gold (50/1), Militry Decoration (80/1), Hipop Des Ongrais (125/1), Motown Lake (200/1), Make A Deal (250/1)

Verdict

I AM MAXIMUS beat the now very smart My Drogo in a Cheltenham bumper and was just lacking for know-how when third on his hurdling debut/belated return at Exeter 5 weeks ago, form which has been well advertised since. He remains a good prospect and is clearly the one to beat. Raymond Tusk and Cardano were both quality operators on the Flat and are bound to leave their hurdle debuts behind.
