The vote goes to PERCEVAL LEGALLOIS, who failed to land a glove on Maxxum over this C&D during the Christmas period but he was returning from a 3-month break that day and enjoys a significant pull at the weights with Gordon Elliott's charge. Maxxum is nevertheless accorded a great deal of respect, as he's clearly progressive and should make a bold bid to complete the hat-trick, despite shooting up the weights. However, if Lucky Max sees this trip out he could emerge as the main danger.
