Castle Chase is one of the few from his yard who hasn't run well this season though was returning from a long break when well beaten at Navan. Silvretta Schwarz had a run over hurdles at Cork last month and that's where her future probably lies but Cosmic Boy hasn't run since December 2016 when trained by Marco Botti. WAR DIARY is impossible to oppose given the lack of credible opposition having been beaten a short-head in a Gowran maiden on ground with plenty of give in October.
