BLETCHLEY CASTLE can make a winning return to action in this competitive opening handicap. The gelding was placed off a 4lb higher mark when last seen in action under rules and looks the most likely to make the running here. The selection's trainer has had a winner recently and he is taken to get the better of Glimpse Of Gold who can be forgiven a poor effort on softer ground last time while handicap debutant Mexican Jim is another who can be given a decent chance with a top jockey in the saddle. 1.
