TACTICAL MOVE was returning from a year off when narrowly beaten in a big field of bumpers at Punchestown in May so another break won't be a problem and he looks the one to beat. Fancy Foundations started a short-priced favourite at Cork in April but never looked like winning while stable companion Ferocious was beaten a long way at Navan in March. Noel Meade's horses are going well so easy Dromahane winner Idas Boy is one to keep an eye on while Wellsiraussie will have come on nicely for last month's run at Thurles.
