Verdict

A week on from finishing second behind the rapidly improving Pleasure Gardens, GRIMSTHORPE CASTLE us highly unlikely to bump into anything as well treated in this race and can make the most of this ease in class to finally shed his maiden tag at the 10th attempt. The biggest danger may be Birkie Queen who herself is a 14-race maiden, but has bits and pieces of form which would entitle her to finish in the money. Another one to consider is the lightly raced Ho Leng Lui who contested a stronger race than this at the start of the month. The drop in grade/trip should suit her and it would be a disappointment were she unable to grab a place.
  1. Grimsthorpe Castle
  2. Birkie Queen
  3. Ho Leng Lui
