KING’S SCHOLAR needs to sharpen up in the jumping department, but he’s still made an encouraging start to his hurdling career and gets the nod to complete the hat-trick back from a break with the potential to raise his game further based on his good-quality Flat form. Whermyrosemarygoes had more in hand than the final margin suggests on her recent hurdling debut at Uttoxeter and looks the obvious threat.
