Age may be against hurdling royalty Faugheen here as the Gordon Elliott-trained SAMCRO bids to get his chasing career back on track. The seven-year-old was still travelling well and holding every chance when coming down two out behind the impressive Fakir D'oudairies at Fairyhouse earlier this month. Castlebrook looks next best as his he looks to progress in his fledgling chasing career.
