Flat To The Max has to be of interest running in his first handicap on the Flat with a 5lb claimer on board. Jake Peter’s victory over track and trip on this card a year ago set him on a winning run but he’s soared up the ratings since, including a 10lb rise for scoring at Fairyhouse in June. Cray didn’t run badly back on the level at Leopardstown but SNEAKY GETAWAY still has plenty of potential under this code and is fancied to recoup losses incurred at Galway.
