Forecasts

Brandon Castle (5/6), Desiremoi D'Authie (3/1), Arthington (6/1), Distingo (8/1), Royal Hall (20/1)

An interesting heat with all of the quintet having some sort of chance with BRANDON CASTLE looking to add to his two C&D victories in novice company as he goes handicapping over obstacles for the first time. This is tougher but his Flat experience will stand him in good stead and his mark of 130 doesn’t look too onerous. Desiremoi D’Authie has yet to win over run over hurdles but turned in a good effort last time although positive tactics won’t be as easy to pull off here. Gary Moore won this last year and his Distingo ran better than his lowly placing last time having shown some very smart form last season and he’s preferred to his stablemate Royal Hall.
