The Echo Boy, a dual point-to-point winner, has been disappointing over timber since runner-up to City Island at Naas. CASTLE NORTH has improved with every run and his second to Acronym here last time suggested he would be winning soon. This is no easy task but he's taken to get off the mark in receipt of 8lb from Abyssinian. Joseph O'Brien's charge is penalised for his Flat victories but made a very promising start over hurdles at Killarney. Winning bumper Warlike Intent made most of the running until collared close home over 2m5f at Roscommon, his first start for well over a year, so he's another to respect as is Room To Roam, not far behind Abyssinian at Killarney
