Although CARCACI CASTLE failed to make an impact in a Grade 2 novice when last seen in March he still has the profile of one who can go on to better things in handicaps this term and he gets the nod for Sandy Thomson and Ryan Mania. Fingal's Hill will pose a threat if resuming in the same form as when completing a hat-trick in the spring. Shallow River has made a solid start for his new trainer Milton Harris and should also be on the premises.
