Verdict
Uisce Beatha made a very promising start to his career when chasing home a useful sort in a Thurles bumper. He’s a half-brother to two winning jumpers so is much respected. He well-bred Whatchamacallit runs in the same colours and is worth a market check but this could be third-time lucky for SAVANNAH STORM. Gordon Elliott’s charge had decent form on the Flat and he looks a progressive sort over hurdles judged on his second at Navan. Ragin Cajun is related to a bumper winner and from a powerful yard so may be the best of a clutch of newcomers.
