Routine Excellence completed a double over fences with an easy victory here in January and is better than he showed in two subsequent starts. MAXXUM was heavily supported for his debut for Gordon Elliott at Punchestown but couldn't quite concede 5lb to Gaius though a last-flight mistake didn't help. Compensation awaits though Down Royal maiden winner Scenic Look came in for support in a Gowran Listed race when falling and may have got in here lightly on 113. Battle Away completed a mid-summer double and wasn't suited by dropping back to the minimum at Punchestown while Nathaniel's Dream produced a battling performance to land a three-mile handicap at the Galway Festival.
