Martin Brassil has placed GLENQUIN CASTLE brilliantly to win three times over fences and another three over hurdles. He's on a 9lb lower mark back over the bigger obstacles and he doesn't look finished yet. Winning point-to-pointer Recite A Prayer was only moderated over hurdles but it was a different matter on his chasing bow at Tramore and there's more to come. Sovereign Gold, a very easy winner of a Tipperary maiden hurdle on heavy ground, reverts to fences and looks best of Henry De Bromhead's trio but Ragnar Lodbrok has failed to fire in three starts over fences and makes his handicap debut.
