Call Me Max, Malahem and Goodwood Spirit look the three to concentrate on in this competitive finale and the tentative vote is given to Call Me Max. The selection was a fair fourth behind King's Majesty last time out. This looks easier and off the same mark and from a good draw he looks the one to be on. Malahem rates the main danger on his latest third behind Golden Fury but his best form is over a longer distance and for that reason he is passed over on this occasion. Goodwood Spirit is another that could go well on his latest third behind Rain stops Play but his best form is with more cut in the ground. Of the remainder Perfect Choice and Nice Tune have dropped to handy marks and could go well at big prices but for the winner we return to the consistent Call Me Max.
