The eye is drawn to GLENQUIN CASTLE as he seeks a fifth straight handicap win. The gelding had to really tough it out last time to keep the winning run going when winning by a nose over hurdles but connections are understandably staying over timber where he's rated 16lb lower than over fences. Stolen Moment, beaten just over five lengths by the selection last time, may get closer on 5lb better terms and rates a solid each-way alternative. Boghlone Honey is another with claims and My Friend The Wind is not discounted off top weight if forgiven his last run.
