Willie Mullins admitted that things hadn?t gone entirely to plan with Tax Exemption, as Davy Condon had intended to be prominent but ?got left at the start.? However the mare powered home to get up late, making it a successful handicap bow.

A daughter of Mullins? initial Cheltenham Festival winner, Tourist Attraction (Supreme Novices? of 1995), Tax Exemption probably appreciated the drying ground (Good to Firm) according to her trainer, therefore showing her versatility, as she made a winning career start in a Clonmel bumper on heavy going back to December 2006.

?She?ll run away for the next few months and then we might cover her,? was Mullins' summation of future plans.

Tryptronic, bidding for a follow-up to his Fairyhouse all-the-way victory, only hit the front narrowly before the last here, but he couldn?t hold off the strong-staying winner. Look Who?s Back, a course and distance scorer, put in a gritty display, losing little in defeat. For Real gave rise to her hopes for the coming weeks and months as the Limerick heavy ground winner seemed to handle this faster terrain competently.

Oscar Dubh as a son of Oscar out of a Strong Gale mare, seemed to go well on the good to firm and first time blinkers may have also helped.

The Deadly (8s into 9/2 on course) disappointed his followers. Topenhall will do better going the other way round. Special Memory unseated at the first, bringing down Clover Pearl and Jamesy Mcguire.

Reminiscer (injured) was a non-runner and morning market-mover, Whatever Trevor (ground) was also an absentee.
