4/1
£76,000 recruit from the Irish pointing field who offered plenty to work on when third in 2m maiden/novice hurdles on first 2 starts. Not so good when stepped up to 2½m at Newcastle in January but retains potential for handicaps back from 9 months off.

Made a winning reappearance in 2m Market Rasen handicap (heavy) in July. Backed that up when second at Uttoxeter (2m, good) later month and capable of rebounding from a lesser effort over fences at Stratford since.

Reached the frame for the third time in a C&D handicap this season when second of 8 last month. Ought to be on the premises again.

Fair 1½m Flat winner in France and similar form when making the frame in 4 juvenile hurdles last season, latterly a handicap. Remains unexposed and Harry Cobden takes the reins on return. Has had wind surgery.

Took his form up another notch when landing 17f Carlisle handicap on last week's reappearance, pulling 11 lengths clear. Escapes a penalty as that was a conditional jockeys' event. Will be hard to beat if in similar form.

Point recruit who struck at the second time of asking over hurdles for Dr Richard Newland in C&D maiden in June 2023. Third at Stratford later that month but not seen since. Can only be watched on belated return for new yard.

Fair form over hurdles in France last year. A bit below that level in Britain last season, including well held in handicap final start. Off 6 months. Others are more persuasive.

Easily effort in maiden/novice hurdles when fourth of 12 over C&D in July. Brings unexposed potential to handicap debut.

Showed a bit in 3 qualifying runs over hurdles earlier in the year. His opening mark isn't obviously generous but he could have more to offer.

Well held in a bumper and 3 maiden hurdles. Much more realistic chance in handicaps but others are more obvious. Hooded first time.

Second in a 2m Ffos Las handicap hurdle last March bit ended his campaign with a lesser effort at the same venue. First outing for 6 months. Might be best to look elsewhere.

Forecasts

King Ulanda (4/5), French Emperor (4/1), Stroll On By (9/1), Lucky Bere (10/1), Douglas Dc (10/1), Aquifolia (25/1), Farhh Echo (25/1), Our Dylan (33/1), El Gavilan (33/1), Amazing Cleni (40/1), L'empire Vert (40/1), Secret Vino (50/1), Quinn's Reward (50/1), Hidol Du Livet (50/1)

Verdict

KING ULANDA scored by 11 lengths in a conditional jockeys' event at Carlisle last week and will take plenty of stopping off the same mark if coping with 2 outings in quick succession after a break. The booking of Harry Cobden for Lucky Bere suggests Kayley Woollacott's charge could be ready to go on reappearance after wind surgery and he's second choice ahead of Douglas Dc, who has been knocking on the door here this season, and Stroll On By.
