        Verdict

        Castlemore gets the confident vote to open his account over hurdles with Thread Of Honour and Simply Mystic rating the main dangers. The selection has a clear chance on official figures and he need only jump round to score. Thread Of Honour rates the main danger he has shown a modicum of ability in better races and is from a top yard so is worth noting in the market but he has given the impression he would be better over further and he is passed over here. Simply Mystic is another worthy of respect he was a fair second in a bumper behind Qualitair Pleasure and is sure to have been well schooled for this his hurdling debut. The remainder have shown virtually nothing and are readily opposed and for the winner we return to Castlemore who was unlucky last time out.
