The dynamic front-runner Brandon Castle rather lost his form last winter over hurdles but looked to be on his way back in a Class 2 event here last time finishing fourth and hinting that he may be able to return to winning ways soon. Behind him on that occasion were Siannes Star and VALENTINO DANCER and it’s the latter of that pair who is given a chance to reverse the form with the stable in good form and the better ground likely to suit. Second here last time over a longer trip Fubar isn’t out of this although his finishing effort needs to be more straightforward this time. Lucky Icon eased in the weights should be checked in the market.
