In depth
Verdict
Dancila has won over 1m5f and 1m2f in recent weeks and wasn't disgraced when attempting to concede 12lb to the winner at Naas. Tax For Max, a winner in Germany and over hurdles at Punchestown, was beaten a length in a Listed hurdle at Galway last month while MAGELLAN STRAIT stayed on strongly to defy long odds at Limerick and has the scope to go on to better things. Once Upon A River easily won a maiden here last June but changed stables after finishing last in a Leopardstown Group 2 in September. Female Soldier makes a quick reappearance after a fair effort in a Curragh Group 3 on Saturday.
