Formscan - Carrigeen Castle has really hit his stride since being campaigned over fences, as evidenced when completing a double at Wetherby earlier this month. However, a 10lb rise for that latest victory does demand more and it could be worth taking a punt on the downgraded PRAIRIE WOLF. Sue Smith's gelding was far from disgraced when fourth in class 2 company at Cheltenham and he has enjoyed success on the hurdles course at this venue. Blue Fin should appreciate this stiffer test and is also noted.
