      made all, clear approaching final furlong, unchallenged

      In depth

      Verdict

      Sir Maximilian won over track and trip in September and is only 2lb higher while Juan Les Pins won over 6f at Kempton more recently and Split Down South scored over 6f here just last week for which he is penalised. Asad makes his handicap debut for new connections having been gelded and undergoing wind surgery since last in action but novice winner ALEXEJ is expected to improve now handicapping and the Gosden colt gets the vote to come out best.
