Verdict
ROAD TO DUBAI, four times a winner on the Flat in the UK, made a very promising start over hurdles in what looked a strong Cork maiden won by Fakir D'Oudairies and should be able to build on that and take this. Cash In Mind has also won four times on the Flat though at a lower level and has shown enough over timber to suggest he'll find a race soon. In Your Shadow has had a couple of bumpers runs but jumping will be his game but six times Flat winner Tooreen Legend hasn't run over hurdles since 2014.
