Tax For Max (30/100), Flaming Moon (5/1), Esperti (10/1), Folio (12/1), Dontlettheoldmanin (18/1), Read To Return (22/1), Viceregent (28/1), Red Lodge (50/1), No Mor Isolation (50/1), Jet Fighter (50/1), Mahlers Cove (50/1), Virtual Oscar (150/1), Pepperocco (150/1), Marelly (150/1), The Connector (150/1), Lillys Girl (150/1), College Causeway (150/1), Bundle Of Dreams (150/1), Slievenamon John (200/1)

TAX FOR MAX ran to a useful level when third in a big-field handicap here a month ago and a repeat of that form back in a maiden may well suffice. Flaming Moon is second choice unless there's market support for Folio starting out for Gordon Elliott.
