Verdict

C'Est Ca is a useful hurdler who is expected to do well over fences and though rated a long way behind NINETIETH MINUTE it doesn't neccessarily follow he'll struggle against that rival. However, Tom Taaffe's charge has the pedigree to suggest he will make a chaser and is taken to make a winning start over the bigger obstacles. Lucky William was a very unfortunate loser at Tipperary where he fell with the race at his command and probably came up against a nice type when runner-up to Kakagh at Naas last time. Dr Whizz looked an outstanding prospect when beating Puyol in a maiden hurdle at Leopardstown but lost his way subsequently and it will be interesting to see how he does over fences. Saludos looks a big danger to all as this Grade 1-placed hurdler made a satisfactory debut in a very strong beginners race at Punchestown won by Noble Prince and will have come on for that run.
