Although the form horse is undoubtedly Three Castles and the level of opposition can hardly be described as the most taxing, the Keith Dalgleish-trained runner is worth opposing over a new trip on a sound surface. The likes of Myklachi, Magrevio and CUBA RUBA all have related form lines but a chance is taken on the Tim Easterby-trained three-year-old in a very winnable contest.
