Verdict
BRECHIN CASTLE is returning from a long absence, but has a lot going for him. Ben Brookhouse trained him to win two bumpers in Britain, including in Listed class at Cheltenham. He was last seen finishing runner-up in another Listed bumper at Ascot in December 2023 and has switched to Willie Mullins for his hurdling debut. Bulgaden Castle has been placed in his last three hurdle races and has earned a mark of 115. He kept on in second at Thurles and Punchestown, which gives him a solid chance. Famous Figure is a bumper winner who could improve from an opening sixth over flights in Down Royal.
Expert View Verdict
Despite his long absence BRECHIN CASTLE is expected to make a winning hurdling debut. He proved progressive in bumpers where he was a Listed winner and his top stable can get them ready after a break. Bulgaden Castle sets the standard on the ratings and looks the obvious danger if he's ridden a bit more positively than he was last time. Jerry From Kerry matched his useful bumper form on his hurdling debut and if repeating that he may fill the places.
