CLASSIC KING (2) looked set to land a decent novices' hurdle at Newbury when coming down at the last. He showed some solid form prior and can get back to winning ways at the chief expense of BHALOO (1). Nicky Henderson's runner was a good third here last November but needs to bounce back from a disappointing fourth in a novice hurdle at Hereford last time. Huntingdon maiden hurdle third PATANITA (5) is clearly third best, with POTTERSJETAMAY (6) perhaps the pick of the remainder although he does have plenty to find.
