Verdict

Premium Package was engaged in the 12.40 here yesterday and Gabbys Cross looks the stable pick with Rachael Blackmore on board. He makes his handicap debut after a battling victory in a strong novices' event at Punchestown and the more rain the better. Jacksons Gold is another making his handicap debut after landing a novice hurdle at Thurles and this looks a tough task from the top of the weights. Slige Dala won two bumpers then completed a hat-trick with a narrow maiden hurdle victory at Listowel though couldn't handle Listed company at Limerick. Point-to-point winner Visionarian will be suited by stepping up in trip though this can go to LEGACY THOR, who made all and jumped superbly at Navan.
