C&D winner on heavy last November. Failed to build on that in 3 subsequent outings last season and returns with a point to prove.

Improved effort on the back of wind surgery when landing a C&D handicap on good to soft in April. Had 2 next-time-out winners behind her so should remain very competitive off 5 lb higher if ready to roll after a break.

Won in the mud at Leicester in January. Respectable sixth of 9 in handicap at Chepstow (19.5f, good to firm) in April. Off 6 months.

Could only manage a well-held fifth on 2½m Uttoxeter handicap debut in June but did show a bit in his qualifying runs prior to that and a low-mileage profile does provide the hope for better at some point. Ha had wind surgery.

Runner-up sole start in points. Only modest form over hurdles last season, including disappointing in sole handicap, but it is still early days with him.

Has lost his way badly over fences in the last 12 months but was a promising hurdler at the start of his career and dangerously well treated if a return to the small obstacles sparks a revival.

Runner-up sole start in points and also filled the same position twice over hurdles last season. Shaped as if needing the outing on 2m Chepstow handicap debut/reappearance and should be sharper now with Nico de Boinville retaining the ride.

Point winner. Fair maiden hurdler, including second in a Fontwell handicap last spring. Shaped as if better for the run when mid-field on his recent Chepstow reappearance. Enters calculations with that behind him.

Won 2½m Hereford handicap in January 2024 and even better form when narrowly denied at the same venue 13 months later. Possibly found a second outing in quick succession after an absence too much when well-held fourth at Ludlow 15 days later. Off again since. Same connections run Atlanta Brave.

Won a pair of handicap chases here in 2024. Also second over hurdles last November and ended last season with another good effort over fences here. Claims if fully primed after 6 months off.

Every chance when falling at last on final point start. Found 2m too sharp in a trio of maiden/novice hurdles in the spring and this longer trip could see him in a better light now handicapping. One to note in the betting.

Dual hurdle winner in early 2024. Lost his way over fences last season after a promising start but resumes his hurdle career on a good mark if fully tuned after 8 months off.

Winner at Market Rasen in 2021. Also runner-up twice in May 2022 but hasn't shown much in 2 comeback outings this autumn. Plenty to prove at present.

Forecasts

Kingston Gent (5/2), Kalista Love (5/1), Bank On Frank (5/1), Fresh Speculation (15/2), Mumbles (15/2), Boston Joe (8/1), Atlanta Brave (17/2), Just Her Type (12/1), Moorland Rambler (12/1), Lady Harriett (14/1), The Grey Man (18/1), Hellfire Princess (20/1), Golden Identity (40/1), House Of Habsburg (40/1), High Grounds (150/1)

Verdict

KINGSTON GENT might be worth siding with to build on a sound enough reappearance effort at Chepstow. Boston Joe reappears off 2 lb lower than when second in a big-field handicap hurdle at a similar time last year and could go well if ready to roll after 6 months off. Kalista Love has had the form of her C&D success in April boosted and is also shortlisted on her return to action.
