This looks a stronger than average bumper and the form should be worth following. Lucky Pass was left clear at the last for victory at Loughanmore in April after which he went for £140,000 at the sales. Balzac Turgot started odds-on for his debut between the flags in March but showed his inexperience and has a fine jumping pedigree. Blood Crazed Tiger couldn't handle Loughaderra Prince at Naas but the winner looks smart while both Timmone and Une Lavandiere are entitled to improve for their debuts, as is SUNNI MAY and it's the latter who gets the nod. Jessica Harrington's charge couldn't quite cope with Castello Sforza on his opening run here in April but the third horse won his next race in a canter so the form should stand up.
