In top hands but hasn't achieved any better than modest form in 2 bumpers and a trio of hurdles. Still early days, though, and may do better now sent handicapping.

Timeform Verdict

ROYAL MAX remains open to improvement and could be a different proposition now sent handicapping. He gets the nod. Bear A Hand and Boundsy Boy look the likeliest dangers.
