King Of Kingsfield (G)
[T]
Useful hurdler and similar form over fences, not needing to improve to resume winning ways in a 6-runner Punchestown Grade 3 (18.3f, good to soft) last month. However, he ran no sort of a race at Cheltenham since and looks vulnerable under…

Crest Of Fortune (G)
Bumper winner who landed a maiden/novice over hurdles (at up to 20.5f) before running a screamer on first crack at 3m+ when third in a Grade 1 at Aintree in April. Solid start over fences when runner-up on return back at 2½m in Cheltenham …

Point/bumper winner who won twice from 3 appearances in maiden/novice hurdles for Nicky Henderson last season. Acquired by new connections for £285,000 in May and perfect start over fences when landing a 3-runner affair at Perth (2½m, heav…

No Questions Asked (G)
Pretty useful 3-time novice hurdle winner last term and this former point winner barely put a foot wrong when making a winning return/chase debut in an Ascot handicap (18.8f, good). Looks sure to progress and he's an appealing candidate fo…

Regent's Stroll (G)
FAV
Useful bumper winner and also established himself as a useful hurdler last season, winning 2 of his first 4 starts in this sphere prior to a fine second of 9 in the Grade 1 Mersey Novices' Hurdle at Aintree during the spring. Likely to mak…

Wendigo (G)
Useful novice hurdler last term, runner-up in the Challow here in December and also acquitted himself well in the Albert Bartlett at the Cheltenham Festival in March. Just touched off by a subsequent listed winner on chase debut at Worcest…
