Verdict

BOSTON MAX has been holding his form notably well since registering back-to-back wins in the spring, so he appeals as a very solid option. Long-standing maiden Jazzit and Simmering Seas head up the opposition.

5	Long-standing maiden but ran creditably when fourth of 9 in handicap (11/2) at Laytown (6f) 36 days ago, despite being caught further back than ideal. Expected to be thereabouts once more. 2nd Pick 5 Jazzit Jockey: J. J. G. Ryan Trainer: T. G. Mccourt, Ireland J: J. J. G. Ryan T: T. G. Mccourt, Ireland	100	-	-	-	13%	7/1

3	Yet to win but shaping up nicely for new yard, in the frame again at Navan (5f) last month. Easy to excuse latest effort at Cork on account of testing conditions and remains one to bear in mind. 3rd Pick 3 Simmering Seas (Ire) Jockey: T. Casey Trainer: Daniel James Murphy, Ireland J: T.
