Ennemi Public looked a heavy-ground performer over hurdles so some rain would aid his cause on his chasing bow but three-times hurdles winner Roi De Dubai acts on any ground and made an excellent comeback in a Tipperary novices' contest last month after a long absence. Useful hurdler Ilikedwayurthinkin has had four runs over fences against better opposition so is respected but TURNPIKE TRIP (NAP) was better than these over hurdles and has made a good start to his chasing career. Beaten just over two lengths by Druid's Altar, who was receiving 12lb, at Limerick, he had subsequent winner Alice Avril and today's rival Whatsnotoknow a long way behind and should get off the mark over the bigger obstacles.
