FormscanBy Tom Weekes - BALLYBURN won a course and distance bumper on yielding ground last February and is likely to improve. A point-to-point winner for Colin McKeever before moving yard, his course form has yet to be properly tested but the third-horse had finished second to Cheltenham Bumper runner-up Fact To File. He missed a Fairyhouse engagement on April 10 due to a temperature but arrives fresh and is Patrick Mullins' pick. Slade Steel, a points winner on yielding ground for Pierce Power, was also a smart CD bumper winner last December. The runner-up subsequently finished sixth in the Cheltenham Bumper and the third won subsequently, with today's rider again claiming 7lb. Owner-ridden Great Universe is quirky and while beaten 20 lengths by the selection in February, he surrendered plenty ground at the start. He was subsequently an impressive 2m2f Clonmel bumper winner but there might prefer testing ground and further. Loughglynn holds Better Days Ahead and Chosen Witness on Cheltenham form while Dancing City steps up from a Wexford win. Newcomer Apple's Of Bresil is notable being a half-brother to four French winners and out of a French mile winner.
