Bombay Blue came up against a smart one when runner-up to The Bosses Oscar at Thurles and looks certain to give a good account. The winner's yard is represented by Hamundarson, who also did well against a potentially useful sort in Risk Factor at Leopardstown. FITNESS DU SUD showed signs of inexperience at Tramore but stayed on strongly when the penny dropped and with Patrick Mullins taking over can go one better. Jamie Codd was on board when Gondor was beaten a short-head in a point at Necarne in May though the winner hasn't shown much in bumpers. Lifetime Ambition went for £120,000 at the sales after landing a Lisronagh point in November and is one to keep an eye on in an interesting bumper.
