Swift is upped 6lb after winning over today’s trip at Navan while Castlehume was third over 2m at the same meeting. But Gordon Elliott’s charge finished a long way behind runner-up CAMLANN and the latter may be the one to side with in this. Tyrone Tiger failed to complete on last month’s reappearance having won at Fairyhouse back in April but Dontbackme won a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan before placing in a novice event, though failed to threaten on the latter occasion. Benny In Milan ran well for second in maiden company on a visit to Doncaster last month and could be thereabouts.
