CARCACI CASTLE made it 3-4 under Rules and 2-2 here when outpointing next-time-out winners Traprain Law and Fortescue Wood (front 3 well clear of the rest) in a 2m novice event in December. He looks ready for this step up in class and get the nod ahead of Nemean Lion, who sets the standard on the strength of his effort in the Tolworth at Sandown. Colonel Harry, who was a place adrift of Nemean Lion in the Tolworth, also has claims and hurdles debutant Feronily is an intriguing candidate.
