MADAM BOVARY beat subsequent winners Local Celebrity and Alexandre Newsky in a Sligo bumper before a comfortable success over timber at Roscommon. She should improve again and looks another for Ruby. Apalachicola could hardly have won more easily at Cork in April and though that was over the minimum this trip will prove no problem. Tear Drops has some fair form, though mainly on quicker ground, but Madame Mado is suited by a test of stamina yet still managed a commendable effort over two miles at Cork. Sugar Bullet is generally consistent but will probably need to improve to take a hand.
