Verdict

BENY NAHAR ROAD has achieved enough on the Flat to think that a race like this should be within his grasp now hurdling. Fellow hurdle newcomer Classic King showed plenty of ability in bumpers and is second choice ahead of Alexandra Dunn's Irish recruit Laser Focus.

  1. BENY NAHAR ROAD (IRE)
