Spirit Of Hale wasn’t winning out of turn over course and distance four weeks ago. he’s only gone up 4lb so has every chance of following up but talented claimer Adam Short has accompanied KILLARE CASTLE on his hop across the Irish Sea. His mount didn’t enjoy much luck at Downpatrick last month and is potentially well treated on his fourth to Cadwill at Tramore in December. Heavenly Promise is 0-18 but was beaten under a length at Hereford last month and is only a pound higher.
