Verdict
CLASSIC KING returned to action with an impressive hurdling debut success at Wincanton and can defy a penalty. Queens Gamble made less of an impact when winning at Warwick in May despite some sketchy jumping and has subsequently switched yards. Bhaloo debuts for last year’s winning yard having won a bumper at Market Rasen in April while Bobby's Fortune is another bumper winner making his hurdling bow. Selwan won three times on the Flat in France and his first start under NH rules.
