KING'S ROAD is back on the same mark as when winning a seller at Market Rasen at the end of last year. Annabel Murphy's charge has not pulled up any trees since but has won around here in the past and could be good enough in a poor opener. Jumpandtravel has been placed in three of her four hurdles starts and should be in the money again while Perennial has been in the frame on the Flat this year and makes more appeal than stablemate Dibble Bridge.
