Verdict

CASTILO DEL DIABLO last won just over a year ago when scoring over track and trip off a 4lb higher mark. David Simcock's charge has every chance on that form with most of the opposition stepping up in class. That includes recent Wolverhampton Class 4 winners Lycidas and Taws, while Saborido went close in the same grade at Chelmsford last time with Spiritoftominoul well beaten. Teak won at Bath the last time he raced on the Flat but is 6lb higher for this and Mubaraza has plenty to prove now having ended last season with a couple of woeful efforts.
