Verdict
SAVANNAH STORM is by Dubawi and a full brother to a winning bumper. He is also a half-brother to two Flat winners and made a promising debut over a mile at the Curragh despite finding the trip too short. He'll get better the further he travels and faces a straightforward task here. Orillion is visored after an ordinary debut at Leopardstown but has a bit of scope and is probably the one for forecast backers with the filly Purple Velvet returning from a lengthy absence.
