In depth
Verdict
Ralph Beckett’s two-year-olds here boast a better than one in two strike-rate and SIR MAXI will likely be a warm order in this as he probably came up against a decent juvenile on debut at Windsor and was keeping on in the closing stages. Roydmoor took a backward step at Wolverhampton but is preferred to stablemate Wanted. Elland Road Boy has scope having undergone a wind operation with Emperor Supreme a newcomer to note.
