1.63 FEARLESS (IRE); 2.00 CASTLE RUSHEN (IRE); 4.00 LAMANVER STORM; 8.00 GET WITH IT (IRE); 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.
CASTLE RUSHEN was a smart bumper performer last season and made the perfect start to his hurdling career when scoring over 2m here last month. Today's extra yardage won't bother him and he can follow up under a penalty. The 122-rated Fearless is better than showing at Ascot last time and will benefit from Fergus Gregory's valuable claim, while Get With It can build on a promising first spin over timber at Carlisle.
