This looks tricky as there are a trio with strong bumper form taking on several well-connected newcomers. Macnicholson has gradually improved with racing and looked well suited to fast conditions when a close third in a big field at Punchestown. STORM AWAY scored at Tramore before a fine run at Punchestown in April when a close third in what looked a strong contest won by Tropical Three. That could be good enough though Miss Mardan came with a storming late run at Ballinrobe and just failed to catch Carrow Queen so she should get involved. Gone Platinum, Lord Luca, Rally and Robyn's Rose should all be monitored closely in the betting in what should be an informative bumper.
