King's Castle had his winning sequence snapped last month, but compensation awaits in the Friends & Family Remembering Norman Sharpe Handicap Hurdle at Plumpton on Sunday.
The seven-year-old was expertly campaigned by Jeremy Scott through the summer months, kicking off four successive wins at Warwick in May before adding two Newton Abbot triumphs in June and a Market Rasen verdict in July.
King's Castle rose from a mark of 95 to 114 over the course of those victories, but it did not appear to be his heightened mark that cost him when tackling better company at Perth when last seen.
He was short of room when push came to shove in the home straight and given he was beaten just a neck by Here Comes Georgie, King's Castle could well have brought up the five-timer but for that misfortune.
Raised a further 2lb following that, Scott's charge may not have reached his ceiling just yet.
Stormin Crossgales can add a third success over fences to his record in the Peter J. Taylor Memorial Handicap Chase.
A winner on his penultimate outing despite his rider's saddle slipping, he looked to be outstayed when beaten 2-lengths into second at Market Rasen in June.
This slightly shorter trip, which is just shy of 3400m, can help him this time.
Rogue King can build on his initial jumps promise in the Happy 65th Birthday Peter Mellett Juvenile Hurdle.
An all-weather winner over 2400m on the Flat for James Owen, he came home in second on his first attempt over hurdles, relinquishing his lead at the last to go down by just over 2-lengths.
He filled the same position on a subsequent spin on the level and would not need to improve too much to win here.
Happier has shown signs of a renaissance this season ahead of the Usave Business Energy Specialist Fillies' Handicap at Hamilton.
She did not make her debut until last year, winning one of her 10 three-year-old starts and ending the campaign on a mark of 70 for Tim Easterby.
However, she has been unable to add to her tally in four runs this term - a luckless run that has seen her mark drop 7lb.
Her revised rating of 63 looked pretty competitive at Catterick in May and while she has an absence to overcome here, Happier could thrive off bottom-weight.
Wadacre Tivoli can hit the mark for the first time in the racingtv.com Handicap.
Third in two of her three maiden starts, handicap company looked to be more her level at Yarmouth in July when she set out to make all over 2000m, only to falter in the final 200m.
An unchanged mark of 65 does not look beyond her compass. - Press Association
