TRUMP CARD has won twice around here but a long losing run saw him drop massively in the Turf ratings and he ran a fine race at Limerick last time. He's 2lb lower here so looks the one to beat and he holds Dusty Winds, who was engaged at Leopardstown yesterday, and Mountain Fox on that run though the latter improved on softer ground next time when Believe Jack finished just in front of him. Aunty Audrey gained a surprise victory over Stellify, who runs in the first division, over this sort of trip at Gowran before finding 1m3f too short at Limerick and she rates a threat with her rider's claim a plus.
