TRUMP CARD has made giant strides since finishing behind Free State and Bomber Jackson on the all-weather in March. He won a better race than this at Leopardstown last time and can defy a further 5lb rise. Further down the weights, Lizard Point could be interesting if the ground turns soft and Larksville had form on an easy surface last year, though the lack of a recent run is off-putting. Carvelas is 0-11 on Turf but has won twice on the all-weather and was third at Naas recently, though over shorter.
