Verdict

Massey's Wood carries a penalty and his three runs over hurdles have all been over 2m4f. He's not certain to stay this far but CASTLEBROOK, a winning point-to-pointer, will have found 2m much too short on his hurdling bow at Cork but still managed to make a race of it with the odds-on Shady Operator. He looks to have been found a good opportunity to go one better. Robin The Hare dead-heated on his debut between the flags and probably would have won next time but for falling. He was well beaten in a Limerick bumper in December but should do well over timber. Kalamkan did a bit better at the last meeting but has yet to reach a place in 10 career starts but point-to-point winner Heroesandvillains can do better with a more suitable test of stamina.
