Placed in a hurdle race from four NH starts. Well beaten at 9-1 behind Whistling Senator when sixth of 10 on her latest outing in a hurdle race at Huntingdon over 2m 5f (good) last month.
Liscahill Karella won in facile fashion over 2m4f at Bangor last week but the handicapper has made life tougher for him with a 16lb rise in the ratings. Nevertheless, he could still go well. Stuff Of Dreams, Around A Pound and Stick Together all merit respect in a tricky contest but a tentative verdict goes to WORTH A KING'S. He has dropped a long way in the weights since joining his current yard and there have been some encouraging signs on his most recent starts.
