Mid-field both starts in Irish bumpers for Declan Queally during the spring. Transferred to in-form yard ahead of hurdles debut.

Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Tullypole Annie (winner around 2m, by Dragon Pulse). Poor handicapper on Flat (stays 7f), looked hard ride last time. Stamina to prove and not an obvious one on hurdles debut.

Fairly useful handicapper at best on Flat (stays 12.5f) for Charlie Johnston but ended 2023 out of sorts. Low-key hurdles debut but showed more fitted with a tongue tie when fourth at Newton Abbot in August.

10/11
Fair and consistent maiden on Flat in France (stays 15f) for E. Libaud (sold €30,000 last November). Gambled on and produced best effort over hurdles when second of 10 in a C&D maiden a month ago. Repeat will see him in the mix.

Horse silk
150/1
Dam half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 21f) Albuhera and fairly useful hurdler (2m winner) Optimus Maximus. Modest maiden on Flat (stays 1¼m), made no impact in handicap on stable debut last time. Tongue tie on for hurdles bow.
|
Timeform
Half-brother to useful hurdler Scarlet Dragon (winner around 2m). Fairly useful form on Flat (stays 11f) for Tom Clover, much improved when runner-up in novice event last time. Last of 9 on hurdles debut at Kelso a month ago.

Timeform
€25,000 3-y-o, £38,000 4-y-o, Order of St George gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Game On, stayed 3¼m, and fair hurdler Hillary John. Runner-up on second of 2 starts in Irish points in March. Bred to stay well and didn't show a great deal in a bumper a month ago.

4/1
Modest maiden hurdler who returned to something like the form shown on stable debut when second in a thin race at Plumpton (20.5f, good to soft) travelling best but headed run-in after wandering/hanging right. Soft ground perhaps against her when finding little at Hexham. Should be involved.

Little show in varied events on Flat.

Some appeal on pedigree but showed nothing in Hexham bumpers 5 months apart.
|
Timeform
Modest on Flat (stays 1½m), successful in handicap penultimate start, third in similar event last time. Starts hurdles career at a realistic level.

Forecasts

Kingston Narcissus (10/11), Broderick (10/3), Brave Jen (4/1), Demilion (10/1), Supreme George (18/1), Stellarmasterpiece (18/1), The Last Cloud (66/1), Rogue Lion (80/1), Cage Rattler (125/1), Macho Sun (150/1), Lady's Charm (150/1), Royal Romance (200/1)

Verdict

KINGSTON NARCISSUS showed much more than previously over hurdles when runner-up over C&D a month ago and a repeat display may well see him go one place better in a run-of-the-mill maiden. Drying ground may help Brave Jen's cause and she's the obvious threat.
