Verdict
Blackstair Rocco attracted support on his hurdling debut at Leopardstown and was in touch until the last so improvement is expected but CASTLE TOWN HOUSE has been running well in handicaps without quite finding a finishing burst. He won't get many better opportunities than in this very moderate maiden. The Creadon Rogue was beaten a long way at Tramore but is entitled to make progress while Whiskeywealth performed with credit in a Punchestown bumper.
