BRANDON CASTLE is hard to oppose given his smart Flat form and his impressive jumping on his hurdling debut here last month when beating a highly regarded rival in a quick time. He holds a few of these on that form and has most to fear from C&D scorer Zoffany Bay who has been highly tried on his last two outings.
