Verdict
Karannelle won here and at Market Rasen last month and was second back here 10 days ago. CASTLE QUARTER has been edging up the weights without winning but shouldn’t be far away again and certainly deserves a change of luck. With the headgear removed Colonel Lesley beat Sergeant, who won this last year, at Stratford 12 days ago and Ranco also a chance along with Gerard Mentor. Holnest Pound is making his handicap debut but hasn’t shown much so far.
