The relatively lightly raced MAX WARD is a horse who possesses a real engine.
He has gone through the ranks and I feel with the right conditions he's more than capable of maintaining that upward curve.
This race should be run at a true pace and could play into the hands of the talented eight-year-old. It's vital for a horse to get into a rhythm with their jumping at Ascot or it can become real hard work to make up ground.
If he settles into a nice racing rhythm he should enjoy a nice tow into the race. If this materialises I can see him travelling into the race smoothly and hopefully coming out on top.
CALIPTO is a horse who should enjoy today's conditions and still looks like he has better to come. He's worth a small saver.
