      Verdict

      Holyrood is clear of the field on official ratings but hasn't won since 2009 and his only run on the all-weather so far came at Dundalk last year where he was well beaten. Campaigned without success over hurdles recently, he looks worth taking on with CASTLE MYTH. Brian Ellison's charge won a claimer over 1m4f here last month and has been placed twice over C&D since. He is preferred to Dunaskin, who was flattered by his proximity to Luck Of The Draw here last week while Lava Steps and Sir Haydn have shown little of late to recommend them.
