FormscanBy Donal Murphy - Roi De Dubai is declared to run at Wexford on Friday and so he might not turn up here. Definite Plan and Premium Package were second and fourth behind Friary Rock at Wexford last month and they renew rivalry. The latter is tried in cheekpieces for the first time and he might be able to reverse the form, with Hugh Morgan taking a valuable five pounds off. WHIRLING DERVISH is the highest rated of these over hurdles and he starts off over the larger obstacles now. The Johnny Levins trained gelding won his maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan and finished a fine fifth in a Grade 3 at Aintree on his most recent start. Spades Are Trumps has plenty of experience over fences and has a rating of 120. The Gavin Cromwell trained gelding has been disappointing of late but has the ability to take a race of this quality. Shanavoun Lady (fitted with a tongue-strap for the first time) has definite each-way claims.
