Lash It On won here on Friday and his trainer is such an astute placer of his horses that a quick double looks a possibility. He holds Naughty Molly on that run but OLD CASTLETOWN who carries a 4lb penalty for a comfortable victory here on Thursday, the same race he had won a year ago, will be difficult to beat. That was over the minimum trip but connections must believe he'll stay the extra and he can go in again. Nickname Exit prefers heavy ground but it was good going when Final Gift won over the course and distance in May and a repeat would see him in the frame. Swantykay has been very consistent over fences but this will be his 10th start and he's yet to win.
