FormscanBy Michael Graham - 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, while second-reserve Hey Now would be eyeing prize money if getting a run.
A hurdle for four years old and upwards, maidens at startingWeights - 4-y-o 11st 2lbs 5-y-o and up 11st 12lbs. Mares allowed 7lbs.
