SAM LORD'S CASTLE is hardly likely to be a stable star but he's improved for stepping up in trip and there was plenty to like about his second to Kastania over 1m4f at Fairyhouse. The son of Galileo should have no problems with this distance and can get off the mark. Stablemate Amen is also by Galileo but less stoutly bread on the dam's side and hasn't shown much to date. The filly Karadenia was beaten a long way at Sligo and takes a huge step-up in trip but Takeyourcapoff will have no problems as he's a winning hurdler who has also gone well in bumpers. Templeton could prove the main threat as he is definitely improving and ran well behind Aliyir over 1m4f at Tramore last month.
