Castletownshend has to concede weight to younger rivals and though running well he's never raced over the minimum trip. The same remark applies to Sacchoandvanzetti, who was a couple of lengths behind him over 7f at Naas last time. Sun Sign couldn't quite hold Sunset Nova over an extended 5f at Navan after leading at this trip and should get into the frame but the vote goes to HIELLA. Johnny Murtagh's filly reappeared after a long break with a fair run at Naas in April then just failed to catch Count D'Orsay over this trip back there in June when No Nay Yellow was close behind. Glamorous Power would be the pick on her juvenile form but was beaten a long way on her reappearance at Navan in April.
