Hammersmith hasn't seen a racecourse since slamming a field of bumpers at Downpatrick in February 2009 but a long absence is rarely a problem for one from this yard. Castle Wings ran very well at Galway last month and was still there though ridden along when falling at the second last at Down Royal last Friday. Dynamic Approach produced a cracking performance against the classy Texas Jack at Fairyhouse and didn't appreciate the heavy ground on his only subsequent start. He's a big threat to all but a chance is taken on WHATWILLWECALLHER, who makes her debut over timber. Robert Tyner's mare won a good-class fillies' bumper at Punchestown in May and has the pedigree to make a jumper.
