Verdict
Carrigkerry has been well beaten since scoring at Southwell in May and KNIGHT BACHELOR makes more appeal having easily won a maiden hurdle here last month. Placed in handicaps before that, Warren Greatrex’ charge can defy a penalty. Bellaney Knight finished just ahead of Work Du Breteau when runner-up at Hexham recently and both can figure again but Castletown may prove a bigger threat. He’s been chasing at Auteuil so far this year but was placed in all three starts over hurdles in France before that and has his first start for new connections today.
