FormscanBy John O'Riordan - BALLYGUNNER CASTLE proved no match for two stablemates on his racecourse debut at Thurles but given that the runner-up went on to finish fifth in the Cheltenham bumper time may show that to have been no disgrace. This looks a nice opportunity for the five-year-old to step forward and record a first career win. Point-to-point winner Olympy De Cerisy has also shown ability since switching to racing under rules. Placed on both outings to date, the Declan Queally-trained gelding should once again be a major contender. Bleu De Vassy finished runner-up on his sole point-to-point start before occupying a similar position on his first two outings in bumpers. The Gordon Elliott-trained gelding needs to put a slightly below par run last time behind him if he is to get competitive.
