Welcome to todays feature, The Castle Fed over an extended mile on the turf course. Most of the runners have been either struggling at this level or struggling full stop. The two shortest priced runners look the principles here.

URKO’S DANZIG is the favourite but he has not run as weel when stepped even half a furlong past the mile and his best recent run was over 8f in a stakes. This looks a shade too far and he’ll have to settle for second today. SPEECHLESS(IRE) has been running in allowance compant until his latest when he produce a 105 to win a stakes over a mile. The extra half a furlong looks ideal and as the horse in form he looks the winner today. JAP SWALLY has some very good runs recently and would normally rate a big player here but his last two runs have been very disapointing and on that basis he looks opposable. Must be back to his best to win, otherwise third place at best.
Of the others TOWNSVILLE TOFF(IRE) and THEATRAHY(IRE) could be dangerous at a price as they are both unexposed and still on the upgarde. The others have all stuggled at this level and will be fighting it out for the wooden spoon.
