      Verdict

      A novice winner at Newcastle, CASTLEBAR is expected to improve further now handicapping and the Godolphin colt is preferred to the more exposed Book of Secrets. Amy Murphy’s charge has been raised 6lb for beating Coupe De Champagne at Lingfield and the latter went on to beat Wholelotafun and Cubano at the same track. Altiste is another handicapping for the first time and steps up in distance.
