Kingston Sunflower⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Jack Hogan⁽⁷⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 107| D

2/7

Fair maiden on Flat in France. Has shown headstrong tendencies over hurdles but proved far more relaxed when opening her account at Huntingdon (15.8f) last week, unchallenged. Could prove hard to catch again under speed-favouring conditions.

Form: P3241

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Paul O'Brien| T: C E Longsdon

11/2

Showed a bit (hooded) when sixth of 13 in a bumper at Uttoxeter (15.8f) on debut 11 months ago. Off since.

Wot You Wearing^t⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Houlihan| T: R Stephens

11/1

Fair in bumpers but ran below that level sent hurdling when a well-held third at Hereford (19.7f) last week. Improvement needed.

20/1

Became disappointing after a promising start in bumpers and unseated rider after jinking both left and right approaching fourth on Hereford hurdling debut. Cheekpieces on for 1st time.

Form: 239-3U

King Of Quinta^h¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

Showed little in a pair of bumpers and fared no better tried hurdling in a first-time hood after 5 months off at Worcester 2 weeks ago.

Form: 7-85

Silver Atom²⁰³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Luca Morgan⁽³⁾| T: B Pauling

Failed to meet market expectations when well held in Warwick bumper on debut back in March.

Forecasts

Kingston Sunflower (2/7), Sea The Clouds (5/2), No No Tango (11/2), Wot You Wearing (11/1), Iceman Dennis (20/1), Silver Atom (25/1), King Of Quinta (40/1)

KINGSTON SUNFLOWER settled much better than previously when opening her account by a wide margin at Huntingdon last week and could prove hard to catch again under similarly speed-favouring conditions. Sea The Clouds looks the obvious threat.
