        Verdict

        The handicapper is finding it difficult keeping tabs on the progressive BRANDON CASTLE. He shrugged off a recent 10lb rise with a facile 15-length romp in testing going at Chester last week and a 6lb penalty is unlikely to anchor him today. Sebastian's Wish has also been in fine form but on fast ground while Vindicator has won two of his last three outings and should go well again. Braes Of Lochalsh went close over track and trip back in July and is another with a shout but the consistent Donnachies Girl may be in the grip of the handicapper now.
