Verdict
Castle North has joined Willie Mullins after falling in a point at Kirkistown in November 2016. He'll be ready for this but GETAWAY JOHN has done nothing wrong in his two starts and only just failed to peg back Tornado Flyer at Fairyhouse. Choungaya made his debut over hurdles for Gordon Elliott last month and has transferred to Joseph O'Brien while Buddy Rich is by Rock Of Gibraltar out of a winning miler so should have the pace for this providing the ground doesn't turn testing.
