      Verdict

      With a strike-rate of just 1-24 over fences, Castletown clearly comes with a note of caution attached but cheekpieces would need to improve Fanamix and Raddle And Hum has had a break. Get With It showed little on his fencing bow and remains winless but STORM LORENZO made a winning start over the larger obstacles at Hexham and there may well be more to come. Aye Aye Charlie won off this mark over hurdles but needs to brush up his jumping.
