Verdict
Wingmen is top-rated and should go close if bouncing back from a poor run at Cheltenham but he has had some tough races this term and looks vulnerable. BALLYGUNNER CASTLE has a bit to find on ratings but this trip on good ground could be his optimum and he is Townend's pick of the Mullins trio, though Joystick and You Oughta Know are respected too. The trip might stretch Eastern Legend. [Tyrone Molloy]
