17:30 Ballinrobe — Race Preview & Tips

Bulgaden Castle is our selection for the 17:30 17:30 Ballinrobe at Ballinrobe, a Hurdle contest on Good ground.

The recent run of form — 03222 — includes placed finishes that point to a big run here.

The P. J. Rothwell/S. D. Torrens partnership is one to follow, and they will fancy their chances here.

The Good going should suit, and with the draw in stall taken into account, conditions look favourable.

Key angle: Consistent — placed 4 of last 5 runs.

Rated 118, the handicapper may have left a bit in hand.

Appy Getaway is the each-way option — a solid claim for a frame finish.
