Verdict

Several of these look as they could go on to better things including TAX FOR MAX now that he's got his head in front though he didn't have much to do at Punchestown once Flaming Moon fell when in the lead. He's taken to go in again though Amir Kabir, three-times a winner on the Flat, had plenty in hand at Roscommon and Telecon won by 15 lengths on his hurdling bow at Ballinrobe. Four-year-olds have a reasonable record in this and Prairie Dancer has made all in three of his last four starts while the mare Elle Perfecta was very impressive at Bellewstown though that was over 2m4f.
