Verdict
Branding showed real speed at Naas in July but found the minimum too sharp on his debut here earlier this month. Cool Dan is well exposed though did a bit better in a nursery last week but FAIR TAXES has much more scope. Runner-up in a barrier trial he could not quite get to Port Agusta in a course and distance maiden in November but the winner went in again next time when he had The Poacher Daly behind. The latter looks a likely improver and his stable has won this for the past two seasons. Oh So Bright cost €325,000 and is a half-sister to two winners so is one to keep an eye on in the market.
