CASTROGIOVANNI (NAP) makes a quick reappearance under a penalty after a very easy victory at Fairyhouse on Tuesday and the assessor is likely to hit him harder than the extra he carries here so he's difficult to oppose. His stable companion Boragh Steps has some smart form, including a victory over the useful Solar Wave at Fairyhouse, so he has to be a threat along with Stewardess, who makes her debut on the surface after a very good run in a Naas nursery. Art Of Unity was just behind in that latter race and has since run reasonably well at Fairyhouse while Hot Stone makes her handicap debut after a much-improved run at Navan and should get into the action.
