Verdict

A few of these bring potential, not least Willie Mullins' new recruit BRECHIN CASTLE who brings some very useful bumper form from his time with Ben Brookhouse and is fancied to make light of a long absence and make a winning start over hurdles. Bulgaden Castle is the clear pick of those with hurdling experience and rates a big threat though, while Coco Masterpiece, Famous Figure and Jerry From Kerry all look to have better days ahead of them and need factoring in for minor honours.

Brechin Castle (Ire) silk

Point winner who really impressed when landing bumpers at Sedgefield and Cheltenham (listed) before signing off for Ben Brookhouse with an excellent second in Ascot bumper in December, 2023. Off since but still merits serious consideration now going hurdling for top yard.

Coco Masterpiece (Fr) silk

A useful bumper winner who took a big step forward in this sphere when fourth of 10 in novice hurdle (33/1) at Carlisle (17f, soft) 16 days ago, left with too much to do. Should have more to offer and not out of things.
