CASTLETOWN was second over this C&D last time out and he can go one place better here as the handicapper has given him a great chance of breaking his maiden over fences as he is off the same mark as his close place finish last time. Court Dreaming was quite smart over hurdles and although he was pulled up on his chase debut, that was in a higher class than this so he is sure to find this challenge easier, while Espoir De Loire looks the type who will benefit for going chasing so expect a big run on his opening start over fences.
