Verdict
Castletown is just 1-27 over fences and is the senior runner in this. RADDLE AND HUM is 0-7 but rarely beaten far. She’s placed twice around here this summer and is probably due a change of luck. Captain Ivan would also have a chance while Get With It justified market support against more experienced rivals here in July and should be thereabouts again despite a 5lb rise in the weights.
