MY SON MAX went close over 1m2f here last time but has done all his winning so far over shorter trips and is back on a winning mark. Nikki Evans' charge is preferred to Tango Sky, who won twice on the all-weather at the start of the year, and can land a poor handicap. Twenty One Choice was well beaten in an amateur's race on his reappearance having tumbled down the weights last season while Living Leader tends to save his best for the all-weather. Mrs Warren is now back on a winning mark and makes more appeal than the maiden Surety.
