FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - STAR MAX (rated 128) is the tentative choice from Thatsy (130) and Dis Donc (121). The only other one with an official rating, Benefit North, is well off this grouping on 100, and Star Max is likely the more solid of the Gigginstown House Stud pair, ahead of Dis Donc. On a surface described as good to yielding at Leopardstown last time the selection finished ahead of a subsequent winner in third, when runner up behind Exit Poll. A repeat of that effort is going to put the Maxios gelding right there at the business end. Though he hasn’t a win on the board since March 2019 the drying ground could help him to put his experience to good use. Raya Time will justifiably attract his share of each-way support.
