FormscanBy Gary Carson - BOIS DE CLAMART is top rated here and may be able to make a winning return with the ground likely to suit after recent rain. The French-bred gelding won his last two, in the spring, in testing conditions and this looks a nice race for his seasonal debut. Tax For Max is next best on the ratings and comes here fit front the Flat. He finished down the field in the Irish Cesarewitch last time but had run a decent race when third at Roscommon previously and should be a big player in this. Hiaou is the unexposed horse in the field but has to give weight away on his return. He was well held when falling in Grade 2 company at Naas when last seen in February having won a decent maiden hurdle at Punchestown the previous month.
