Verdict
Glenquin Castle, who completed a remarkable seven-timer over hurdles and fences in 2021 when by Mark Walsh, bounced back to form over the bigger obstacles at Galway and is on a lower mark over timber. HAND OVER FIST almost certainly has more to offer after completing a double in good style at Roscommon and could be good enough as Brianna Lily has gone up 9lb since getting off the mark with an easy victory at Clonmel. Getaway Charlie's yard continue in outstanding form while No Thanks has been placed on the Flat since a comfortable victory in a Ballinrobe handicap. Tramore maiden winner Sea Aster is another to consider after just failing to concede 15lb to the winner at Listowel.
