Castle Town House has only run in testing conditions, landing the odds in a Limerick maiden hurdle in March. NOBLE YEATS is the other entry making his debut over fences and he looked one to follow when ending the last campaign with a very easy victory in a Navan maiden over timber. Fully Charged has performed well in strong company over fences, including handicaps, while Western Run's neck defeat by Streets Of Doyen at Galway put him in the picture. Definite Plan couldn't cope with Spades Are Trumps at Kilbeggan but, along with Nero Rock and Slige Dala, isn't out of this interesting beginners' event.
