Castletownshend is 1-37 but very nearly doubled his winning tally when caught close home over this trip at Leopardstown when previous winner Maestro Stick was behind. Sondheim was racing for the 18th time when scoring over Cork's straight 7f last month and his young rider can again claim the full allowance. Helen De Pourtales looked certain to win when leading inside the final furlong over a mile at Bellewstown last week but was caught close home. She'd been well behind Alice Milligan over this trip at Down Royal earlier so could find this on the short side. London Palladium keeps changing yards but is on a fair mark and Colin Keane is a positive booking but he was beaten by Company Keeping at Leopardstown in April and is no better off. BRAVE DISPLAY was raised a massive 17lb for scoring easily over this trip at Down Royal a year ago and has been racing over shorter. He's now back on that winning mark and a chance is taken on a return to form.
