KING’S RESTE (NAP) is 0-5 over hurdles but split a couple of previous winners when odds-on at Southwell last month and won twice over fences in July. It will be disappointing if she can’t take advantage of another good opportunity. Sula Island and Drumochter both won on the Flat and Rococo Style took a Southwell bumper on her racecourse debut a year ago. Foxtrot Juliet, Avast Ye and newcomer Wasdell are also worth a market check.
