In depth
Verdict
Maximilian had already won a point before making a winning start in bumpers here last month but this is no straightforward task under a penalty. Snowy Evening placed between the flags in November but HARD IRON was an eye-catcher at Musselburgh and will know more today. Gavin Cromwell sends over Western Walk but he’s already run three times and only placed once.
