Verdict

BULGADEN CASTLE has been going the right way over hurdles so far, going close at Gowran when last seen, and he could be ready to get off the mark as he goes up in trip. Doctor Elvis disappointed on his latest outing but is feared most given a break since, ahead of the Willie Mullins-trained Rebel Reba.

  1. BULGADEN CASTLE (IRE)
  2. DOCTOR ELVIS (FR)
  3. REBEL REBA (IRE)
