GOAT CASTLE finally came good at Bangor two weeks ago when Spoil me was back in third. That will have done his confidence the world of good and he may be capable of doubling his tally here off an 8lb higher mark as he gets 14lb from the penalised Sedgemoor Express and 21lb from fellow hat-trick-seeker Planetoid, who has gone up 16lb since winning at Uttoxeter in June. Knockgraffon Lad turned in a shocker at Bangor last time while none of the others have shown any recent worthwhile form.
