Tax For Max was highly tried in his first two starts over timber but it’s a worry that he failed to land the odds in a Tipperary maiden in May and he faces stronger opposition here. Willie Mullins also saddles the Cork winner Farout but he shoulders a penalty along with Ilmig and Zanavi. CARRAREA is 7lb better off with Ilmig having shown signs of inexperience when beaten half-a-length by Jessica Harrington’s charge on his hurdles bow at Cork. He can turn that form on its head here and open his account.
