He was desperately unlucky in his most recent start, here at Lingfield in early December. He travelled well enough and looked in with a big shout turning for home but found himself then short of room 1f out and had to suffer behind a bunch of horses. Finally in the clear in the last hundred yards he finished strongly in third. He probably would have won the race with a clear run. The form doesn't look too strong overall but the handicapper left his mark unchanged and that should ensure that My Son Max will be really competitive in this race here tomorrow as he'd be a few ponds higher if everything would have gone to normal the last time.
That means he's surly well in the weights in this race, that looks sort of competitive but the opposition doesn't look overly exciting. Nonetheless there are small worries: He has to overcome a wide draw and the 5f trip might be sharper than ideal, yet I think he is overpriced and a big performance is expected.
