We are booked up for 3 days cycling, staying in Luhon.
Looking for two or three loops people could recommend, taking in some of the passes. Most likely hoping to do Bales, Portillon, Superbagneres and Peyresourde, and any others would be a bonus.
Looking at loopsof 80-120km in length. So, any recommendations?

An ok 90 km loop, not too demanding but not so simple neither.
Start from Luchon, head to Saint-Béat at the bottom of the Col de Menté (10 km - 8.6 %), after the descent turn left, then left again after 5kms towards Juzet d'Izaut.
You'll start the Col des Ares (6.6km - 4.4 %) very gentle and nice descent, and then back to Luchon.
