Verdict
An Caisteal Nuadh looked a nice prospect when landing a Limerick maiden hurdle in July but so far has only run on good ground. Kemboy also won a maiden hurdle on the same track before running at the highest level in novice company over timber. He's expected to do well over the bigger obstacles as is stable companion Pylonthepressure, a winning point-to-pointer, bumper and hurdler who has always looked a potentially useful chaser. SUTTON PLACE had won at Listed and Grade 2 and 3 level over timber before pulling up in the Champion Stayers at Punchestown when obviously not at his best. He has three Cheltenham entries and can take this before heading for better things.
