Verdict

CASTLEBAWN WEST was out of his depth in the RSA at the Cheltenham Festival but took a step back in the right direction dropped into handicap company for the first time when third at Punchestown 6 weeks ago and the return to this longer trip will suit. Lock's Corner is progressing really well and is another to consider, with Farclas making most appeal from Gordon Elliott's big team.
