James Owen will likely find the key to ADDOSH before too long, possibly on today's return to hurdling. Colonel Lesley has recorded good placed efforts on his last 4 completed starts and is second choice ahead of Karannelle.

Verdict
Well handicapped on his best hurdle form for Stuart Edmunds. Not disgraced in 2 Flat outings for James Owen in recent weeks and she's the type this stable will get wins out of. Has a hood she wore earlier in her career combined with her now regular tongue strap.

Dual hurdle winner in 2022/23 season but drew a blank in handicaps last season. Has a reduced mark to work with as a result but betting is perhaps the best guide after 5 months off.
