Several trainers have multiple entries and Paul Townend chooses Castlebawn West of Willie Mullins' trio. A very good third in a Grade B handicap at Punchestown last month he's lightly-raced and still on the upgrade. Home By The Lee, a Grade 3 novice winner at Cork, makes his handicap debut and looks best of Joseph O'Brien's three while Farclas heads the Gordon Elliott contingent and looks set for a good winter after a promising comeback. Henry De Bromhead is mob-handed and Minella Times looks one for the shortlist under Rachael Blackmore after jumping so well at Listowel. Jonjo O'Neill sends LOCK'S CORNER from the UK and the six-year-old, who has won three of his four races over fences, looked progressive at Kempton and can take this for J P McManus.
