Verdict
Joseph O’Brien has won two of the last three of these and it’s difficult to see past UHTRED here though he won’t be much of a price. Unbeaten in two bumpers and the winner of a Navan Listed hurdle, he ended the last campaign in the Grade 1 Champion Novices Hurdle at Punchestown and this is obviously a massive drop in class. Whiskeywealth was well clear when falling at the last on heavy going at Limerick back in March while winning point-to-pointer Prevaricate is expected to do better over timber this season for Gordon Elliott. Gordon Dai Dai made a winning debut in a Galway bumper and probably found the going too quick on his hurdling bow at Listowel.
