BOSTON MAX had to settle for a share of the spoils at Chepstow last time but still looks the most solid option as he bids for the hat-trick here. Amerilis represents an in-form yard and showed up well for some way here on handicap debut, so is also shortlisted, with Cisterna taken to complete the 1-2-3.
