Formscan - Kingston Queen made the frame in the Grade 2 mares' bumper at the Grand National meeting and started her hurdling career by beating a couple of subsequent winners at Chepstow. She was forced to miss a recent Newbury engagement, though, and comes up against some really promising geldings. Top of that list is OLD PARK STAR, who began his time with Nicky Henderson in the best possible manner at Kempton and there will be a lot more in the tank. Minella Marathon, Our Boy Stan, Lisbane Park and Sherminator all add further spice to what is sure to turn out to be a very informative affair.
