King Of The Road¹⁰⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Callum Pritchard⁽³⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 115

5/2

Won a hurdle at Taunton last November and followed with a good second at Kempton. Eighth of 9 in flat conditions race at Ascot (33/1) 109 days ago, struggling throughout and beaten before straight. Should be more competitive back over hurdles.

Form: 46126-4

Sergeant Fury⁴⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Jack Hogan| T: Harry Derham| OR: 113| BF| D

11/10

Completed a hat-trick in hurdle races before latest start. Finished second of 5 in a handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (2/1) 48 days ago, tracking the pace before being left behind by winner run-in. Remains with solid claims at this level based on form.

Form: 37-1112

Kingston Sunflower²²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Fern O'Brien⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 110| CD

4/1

Had placed efforts in flat handicaps before finishing seventh of 12 at Wolverhampton (9/1) 22 days ago. Potentially on a fair mark on her belated return to this sphere.

Form: 4111P5/

Crown Of India¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Toby McCain-Mitchell⁽³⁾| T: A M Hales| OR: 100| D

14/1

Won a maiden hurdle at Worcester in June but disappointed in handicap runs since. Pulled up in 8-runner hurdle at Worcester (16/1) 12 days ago when losing ground quickly. Needs to recapture earlier form to feature.

Form: 444-17P

Most Wanted³²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: James Turner| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 96

22/1

Won once on flat but has mainly struggled before finishing fourth of 12 in maiden hurdle at Stratford (66/1) 32 days ago. Stamina remains unproven over hurdles.

Form: 45-4

Jubilee Gold^p¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-8| J: Shane Quinlan| T: Katy Price| OR: 95| D

22/1

Ran well in hurdles earlier this year but pulled up in 8-runner handicap at Plumpton (9/1) 17 days ago on stable debut, jumping poorly.

Form: UP23-2P

Forecasts

Sergeant Fury (11/10), King Of The Road (5/2), Kingston Sunflower (4/1), Crown Of India (14/1), Most Wanted (22/1), Jubilee Gold (22/1)

KING OF THE ROAD should be much more competitive returning to hurdles after a poor flat showing at Ascot. Previously successful in this discipline, he can get back to winning ways. Sergeant Fury brings solid recent form, including three consecutive wins before a creditable second at Newton Abbot, while Kingston Sunflower is potentially on a handy mark on her belated return to hurdles.
