CADMIUM has only shown moderate form in France and has had a long time off but his sire gets plenty of winners and his dam was a useful jumper in France so he's taken to make a winning debut for Willie Mullins. Call The Taxie, a winning point-to-pointer, was just touched off at Wexford before a fair run in a much stronger event at Punchestown where he gave notice of an imminent victory. He looks a big threat while Optimised found the minimum trip too short at Down Royal and will have come on for the experience. Knockraha Boss has only shown ordinary form over hurdles and fences and will need to do better.
