Ice Max
Very useful performer whose good-ground form includes a close second in this race last year and respectable sixth to stablemate Boiling Point at Goodwood latest start; has registered the majority of wins on softer, notably in Group 2 in 2024 and Listed grade in 2025 (both 1m); major player.

From the connections
“After the first couple of furlongs Ice Max got into a nice rhythm. He's grown up a lot, he's strong and he's definitely a Group horse - Shane Gray, rider speaking on Racing TV.”
“Ice Max has been running consistently in Group 2s and Group 3s. He likes cut in the ground and a flat out gallop - James Cowley, assistant trainer.”
“Ice Max is a bit of a hard one to place as he needs soft ground, and I just think he was in front half a furlong too soon there. If the leader had led us a bit further he would have just sat, but he committed and took a length out of the winner and then just got outstayed. A shame, but he ran well - Karl Burke, trainer.”
“Before the race we knew Ice Max would love the soft ground. We didn't go very quick but he travelled very well. Once I switched over to the stands' side rail, I knew I'd won it from there - Clifford Lee, rider.”
