Grania O'Malleyp21
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-10| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR:  118| CD
3/1
Winner of two of her last three starts including on soft ground over 2m at Uttoxeter three weeks ago. Has also won on good ground but has to concede weight to all of her rivals on this occasion.

5/1
Broke her hurdling maiden at the fifth attempt when winning by 3L at Worcester (2m4f, good) in May. Returning from a break and is an interesting contender dropping in distance.
3
Horse silk
100/1
Well beaten in four outings so far and finished 89L behind Grania O'Malley at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) last time out. Others make more appeal.
4
Horse silk
14/1
Placed in a couple of point-to-points in Ireland and purchased for £22,000 subsequently. Not certain to appreciate this drop in distance on Rules debut.

33/1
Struggled on the Flat since finishing 53L fifth in a bumper at Musselburgh (good-to-soft) on debut in March. Others hold stronger claims switched to hurdles.

Age: 6|  Weight: 10-10| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR:  110| D
8/13
Winner twice over fences on good ground since joining this yard earlier this year. One to note fora leading stable on her return to hurdling.
7
Horse silk
25/1
Placed in a couple of bumpers on good ground in the spring but finished well beaten at Hexham (2m, good) last time out. Making her hurdling and stable debut following a break.
Placed in a point-to-point on good-to-yielding ground in May. Fair 16L fourth to Grania O'Malley on Rules debut at Uttoxeter (soft) three weeks ago.

Age: 4|  Weight: 10-9| J: L P Aspell| T: O Sherwood
12/1
Stepped up on sole bumper effort when finishing 15L fourth at Worcester (2m, good) on hurdling debut a month ago. Interesting to see how she fares.

Forecasts

King's Reste (8/13), Grania O'Malley (3/1), Blackdown Hills (5/1), Valjan (12/1), Dowhatudodobest (14/1), Pottlereaghexpress (20/1), Onelasthand (25/1), Haafaprincess (33/1), Bella's Vision (100/1)

Verdict

KING'S RESTE has looked a progressive individual over fences in two starts for this yard and with no penalty for those victories she can make a winning return to hurdling. This looks a stiffer task than Grania O'Malley faced last time out and she may have to give best to the selection while third place can go to Blackdown Hills who was a winner last time out.
  1. King's Reste
  2. Grania O'Malley
  3. Blackdown Hills
