Verdict
KING’S RESTE has won twice over fences since joining Dan Skelton. It’s reasonable to expect she’ll improve on previous form over hurdles and she gets a stone from Grania O'Malley, a winner here in May and also successful at Uttoxeter last month. Blackdown Hills made steady progress last term and won a maiden at Worcester in May but Pottlereaghexpress and Valjan probably need to progress again.
