Verdict

I AM MAX could hardly have created a better impression on debut when a ready winner of a Carlisle bumper 3 weeks ago, and with connections wasting no time switching to hurdles, he can go in again. Lucinda Russell trains the obvious dangers, albeit from different backgrounds in point-winner Dollar Collar and ex-Flat performer Two Auld Pals.
