Winner of a Fairyhouse bumper last month, CASTLE OLIVER can continue the fine form of the Joseph O'Brien yard here by getting off the mark over hurdles at the second time of asking. The solid and consistent, Henry De Bromhead-trained Spyglass Hill can perform well on his fifth start over timber and can hit the frame along with Extrapolate from the Gordon Elliott yard and the Noel Meade-trained Trappist Monk.
