Improvement needed for I Am Maximus to challenge Galopin Des Champs as a genuine Grade 1 performer

The horse I Am Maximus was rated in the high 150s after finishing well beaten behind Galopin Des Champs (184) in Grade 1 company. However, it appeared to have taken its form to a new level by easily winning the Bobbyjo Chase at Fairyhouse in February. While there may be some criticisms of the form in the Bobbyjo Chase victory, the horse’s performance on Saturday was difficult to question.

Meanwhile, the three veteran horses mentioned in the text have accumulated a total of nine Grade 1 wins over fences. Despite the fact that all three veterans are past their peaks, they have demonstrated their ability with their previous achievements.
