Verdict

KING'S CASTLE got the better of an even less-exposed rival when opening his hurdles account at Warwick last month and, with more still to offer in this sphere, he can make it back-to-back wins. Good Impression landed this race last year and is respected back here, while Colonel Lesley could also be thereabouts.

  1. KING'S CASTLE (IRE)
