13/2

1/1

Useful hurdler who comfortably landed 18-runner novice hurdle at Punchestown (16.2f, good, 30/100) 59 days ago. The one to beat on form.

9/1

11/2 and hooded for 1st time, won 15-runner novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (17.4f, good) on hurdles bow 7 days ago, impressively. More to offer and is one to consider.

Form: 281-211

Flaming Moon¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: B J Cooper| T: M J Smith| OR: 122

11/1

Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles. Fairly useful winner at 8f on flat. Last of 9 in handicap (12/1) at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles and needs to bounce back.

Form: 32-25F

I Don't Get It^b¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: D F O'Regan| T: N McCluskey| OR: 88| D

125/1

Modest hurdler. Winner at Downpatrick in June. 15/2, excellent second of 6 in minor event hurdle at Downpatrick (17.4f, good) 13 days ago. Plenty to find on form here though.

Form: 081652

Elle Perfecta²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: S Fitzgerald| T: Colm Murphy

16/1

Thrice-raced winner under NH rules. Won 12-runner novice hurdle at Bellewstown (20f, good, 12/1) 24 days ago, impressively. Should improve but this demands plenty more.

Form: 9/2-1

Must Be Dreaming¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: B Hayes| T: G Ahern| OR: 98| D

100/1

Modest hurdler. Winner at Wexford in May. Creditable third of 16 in handicap hurdle (12/1) at Cork (20f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere in this company, however.

Form: 578-133

Forecasts

Tax For Max (1/1), Prairie Dancer (7/2), Amir Kabir (13/2), Telecon (9/1), Flaming Moon (11/1), Plains Indian (11/1), Elle Perfecta (16/1), Must Be Dreaming (100/1), I Don't Get It (125/1)

TAX FOR MAX holds a clear edge on form and arrives on the back of a stylish Punchestown success so is hard to pass over. Both Amir Kabir and Telecon have better days ahead of them though and should ensure Willie Mullins' smart 5-y-o doesn't have things all his own way in an intriguing listed event.
