7/2

Betfair Hurdle winner in 2023. Few efforts of note since, faring no better for cheekpieces when last seen in the spring. Headgear off. Needs to have been revitalised by a summer break.

13/2

Won 2m handicaps at Doncaster and Taunton over the winter and ended last season with a respectable sixth of 19 at the Aintree Grand National meeting in April. Below form in the strong Summer Handicap at Market Rasen on reappearance in July but can do better back in slightly calmer waters.

10/1

Confirmed the promise of her reappearance when winning 9-runner handicap at Newton Abbot in June but has taken early falls in a hurdle and chase there since. Comes with risks. Tongue tied first time.

Form: 21-71FF

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Alex Chadwick⁽⁵⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 121| D

13/2

Thrived over hurdles last autumn and in a change of headgear, he cranked it up another notch when landing 10-runner handicap at Uttoxeter (2m, good to firm) in July. Has remained in form on the Flat and over hurdles since.

Form: 11P-915

7/1

Fairly useful handicapper on Flat and too well hurdles last winter, finishing runner-up 3 times before taking a C&D novice. Shaped better than result when eighth of 15 in Kempton handicap hurdle in April. Should be sharper for a recent outing on the Flat. Considered.

Got back on track when second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (2m, good to firm) in July but not in the same form when fifth at Worcester since.

Form: 43-1425

King's Castle^t³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Bryan Carver| T: J Scott| OR: 116| D

4/1

Has very much gone the right way over hurdles this summer, completing a 4-timer between May and July. Improved again when only narrowly failing to make it 5 in a row at Perth last month and a further 2 lb nudge is unlikely to prevent another prominent showing.

Form: 3-11112

Addosh^h,t²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Lily Pinchin| T: James Owen| OR: 97| D

4/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 7/2, creditable second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good) 2 days ago, running on. Others have achieved more.

Form: P-34672

Forecasts

Aucunrisque (7/2), Addosh (4/1), King's Castle (4/1), Enthused (13/2), Rewired (13/2), Junkanoo (7/1), Carrigeen Kampala (10/1), Donnie Azoff (18/1)

The thriving KING'S CASTLE has had the form of his latest Perth second boosted by the winner since and can gain a fifth success of the season. Junkanoo took well to hurdling last season and should be all the sharper for a recent spin on the Flat. Enthused is another likely to have a say.
