Verdict
Division One of this lowly handicap can go the way of MAXIMUS AURELIUS, but there's likely to be some support too for Restless Genius and Margot Mine. The selection was a decent second after a four month lay off last time out, and although only one win to his name, a similar solid performance can see him double his tally of winners. Restless Genius will have learned from his all weather debut last time out, and was far from disgraced in coming third from a low draw. Bottom weight Margot Mine has been placed in her last two outings after winning at Great Leighs last month, but she's certainly paying her way following her move from Spain. A number have realistic claims, but we prefer those of Maximus Aurelius.
