In depth
Verdict
Smuggler's Blues was below par last time at Leicester but has a chance on an earlier victory at Warwick. Though aged 12, MAX DYNAMO is in the form of his life. He’s won here twice recently and Jordan Nailor, in good form himself, takes off a handy 3lb again. Brianstorm had Tikk Tock Boom behind when only worn down on the run-in last month at Market Rasen but Broken Quest hasn’t really looked like winning this season, despite slipping down the ratings, and Coup De Pinceau seems to have gone backwards.
