Hiaou scrambled home in a Punchestown maiden then fell when held in a Naas Grade 2 in February and hasn't run subsequently. Supreme Jet easily won a Punchestown maiden in January and is fit from a run on the Flat a couple of weeks ago. Bois De Clamart scored over fences and hurdles last season and was impressive over timber on his latest start at Cork in April. More rain would aid his cause and a race-fit TAX FOR MAX might just have his measure. A winner over hurdles at Punchestown, he ran in the Irish Cesarewitch last month and may be too sharp for these as Typical Thomas probably exceeded expectations when chasing home Darver Star at Punchestown 10 days ago.
