CASTLE ROCK 7/2
CASTLE ROCK at 7/2, Charlie Appleby and William Buick, is the one I make it. He drops in grade after running 2nd in a Class 2, beaten 0.5L, drops to Class 3 and comes from a yard in good heart at 43%.
The dangers are THE FINGAL RAVEN at 10/1 (went close off this mark) and WITCH HUNTER at 33/1 (a course winner).
