MADAM BOUNSKA was in the front rank for most of the way over 6f at Leopardstown and looks comfortably the best of those with experience. Lisadell Abi had Gift Banda and Nelly Sarsfield behind at Down Royal and may do best of the remainder though any money for newcomers Texas Dancer and Tanksalot, who are both very speedily-bred, would be interesting. Fluorescent Rock was well beaten at Dundalk in April but has been given time to mature.
