Verdict

First-time blinkers seemed to sharpen up ST ANDREW'S CASTLE when he returned to form from out of the blue at Newcastle on Wednesday. Provided that choice of headgear works just as well at the second attempt, he's fancied to get the job done and belatedly add to his debut success at this venue. Stablemate Merricourt heads up the opposition, with Judgment Call another worth considering.
