I Am Maximus
9/1
GALOPIN DES CHAMPS may have lost his unbeaten record over fences at this course when third in the Savills Chase in December, but he still shaped encouragingly returning from 8 months off and he can go on to land a remarkable fourth consecutive win in this race. A pair of his stablemates could be the main dangers, with Gaelic Warrior feared most ahead of I Am Maximus.

About The Selections
Andy Stephens
Grangeclare West Was runner-up last year and again ran well when a staying-on fourth in the Savills last month. Each-way play at 25-1
Dave Nevison
I Am Maximus I am a huge fan of this thorough stayer and he looks overpriced. Heavy ground suits him well, and I’ll be supporting him each-way

Ross Millar
I Am Maximus Ran well to be second in the Savills when finishing second and this slower ground will ensure that his unorthodox jumping is put under minimal pressure

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: Galopin Des Champs shouldn’t be inconvenienced if looking to adopt a prominent position: Inothewayurthinkin might not benefit from being ridden as far back as usual for all the gallop is likely to be a reasonable one.
Individual Price Hint: Spindleberry traded at more than 10 times Betfair SP and 5 times Betfair SP when winning on 2 of its last 5 starts: I Am Maximus traded at 10% or less of Betfair SP twice on its last 5 starts.
