VERNE CASTLE absolutely loves it round here as his record shows and after two sound efforts elsewhere the last twice he makes plenty of appeal back at his favourite course now 2lb lower so gets the vote. Gracious John has run two sound races also the last twice and he too enjoys it here so has similar claims in many ways. Teruntum Star has made the frame the last twice including on this surface most recently so he too must be considered.
