Verdict

Ruby Walsh takes the ride on URANNA of Willie Mullins' trio even though she made too many mistakes in Grade 1 company at Fairyhouse after her Sandown Listed victory. Her trainer will have given her intensive schooling and she's taken to reverse placings with stablemate Lyrical Theatre, who finished in front of her in that former event. Patrick Mullins keeps the ride though it would be no surprise if the Paul Townend-ridden Whiteout improved past the pair of them in the future. Kabjoy disappointed after her debut victory, though a recent run on the Flat will have put her straight, and the remainder all have some improving to do in what is a very tough novices' race.
