The consistent CASTLETOWN finally came good at the 20th attempt when landing a first career success at this venue in late April on soft ground. He faces different conditions now but is perfectly capable on the forecast good ground and, although this is a better race than last time, he receives 7lb and upwards from rivals. Indian Temple is expected to run his usual sound race, despite top weight, and Mystifiable has almost certainly being lined up for a return to this track, having impressed when scoring here in April last year. Sumkindofking has talent but continues to frustrate although his latest effort was solid enough and Irish raider Angus Milan is a consistent performer who should give another decent account off his current mark.
