KILRONAN CASTLE is taken to follow up his recent impressive Leicester success by taking this contest for trainer Donald McCain. The selection hails from a stable who can boast a 23% strike-rate (7/31) of late and is taken to get the better of Sister Sybil, who shaped with promise when third on chasing debut last time out. Cajun Fiddle can improve on October's chase debut by finishing third in this contest.
