In depth
Verdict
Winning bumper and hurdler Fortune Street makes his chasing debut as does Construct, a dual hurdles winner who has been in fine form on the Flat. Definite Plan has plenty of experience between the flags though is another first-timer over regulation fences but Premium Package made a promising debut in a similar race to this when chasing home Politesse over the trip at Punchestown. TURNPIKE TRIP hasn't won since landing a Grade 3 novices' hurdle in 2019 but made a bright start over fences here last month and with that under his belt can get back to winning ways.
