Verdict
It's difficult to get excited about this but CASTORIENTA has a few pounds in hand on official ratings and, though out of form this season, a drop into this lowly grade can do the trick. Gabrial's Wawa completed a double here in January but has disappointed back on Turf including in a seller at Leicester last time. Swilken is tackling plating company for the first time but has been in very poor form this season while Jay Bee Blue has a massive weight to carry.
