Alan King felt a mixture of delight and relief following the alan king racing post novice hurdle in which one of his stable's brightest prospects made a successful debut over obstacles. Favour And Fortune, alan king racing post, who won twice last season before finishing down the field in the Champion Bumper, delivered on that promise when finishing clear of Flight Of Freedom under Tom Cannon. He'd had a good summer and we've been happy with his work this autumn. The five-year-old's sole mistake came at the second-last, but he jumped fluently overall and will have the chance to brush up on his skills before being launched into better company.

There is more than just Trueshan's return to form to put a smile on Alan King's face this autumn. It is great that the stable star has come back to himself after a wind operation and added another two big staying races to his huge collection, capping another fine season in which the yard could end up close to its best ever tally of Flat winners. But there is also plenty to look forward to over jumps. King had seven individual bumper winners last season and many others who showed promise in that sphere, which bodes well for his novice hurdle team this term.

Alan King hoped that sending out seven individual bumper winners last season was a good sign for his novice hurdling team in and the highly regarded Helnwein became the latest to prove him right this autumn. He jumped fluently and travelled strongly through much of the runner novice event, although he had to be ridden out to score by a length and three-quarters. Storm shock. Rockinastorm, a maiden over hurdles, was presented with the novice handicap chase on his first run over fences. He was handed the prize when Hurlerontheditch, who held a commanding advantage and was matched at the minimum 1. The owners have paid the money and hopefully we can get back on the right track now.

If Edwardstone were moving with the same fluency and ease as his trainer right now, the hubbub that's rising to greet the Cheltenham Festival would very quickly be drowned out by the crumpling of countless ante-post vouchers. You can hear it now: the sound of bookmakers, alerted by their moles on the Barbury Castle gallops, dismissively wiping off the for the Champion Chase and chalking up with a degree of confidence. Alan King, you see, is not per cent sound. In fact, he's 'done' both of his Achilles tendons and is looking rather scratchy in his slower paces, at a time of life when his faster paces have already deserted him. The official line is that it's an "old sporting injury", but over a glass of good Barolo at his local Italian the excellent La Strada at Broad Hinton, if ever you're passing he confesses, in strict confidentiality, that it's the result of an ill-advised evening of disco dancing on holiday in the Maldives. I promise to keep it under my hat. What can I say? I lied.

A strong gallop and razor-sharp jumping will allow Edwardstone to put the big two in the Champion Chase under pressure, according to trainer Alan King. El Fabiolo and Jonbon dominate the market at and respectively for the feature race on day two of the Cheltenham Festival. But with some questioning their jumping King is confident the one area in which Edwardstone definitely has an advantage is at his fences — and he fully intends to use it to advantage. King is less sure whether it will be enough come the finishing line in the Betway-sponsored race over two miles, and he is far from underestimating the task facing the Arkle winner, but he is confident his stable star will be in front of his two rivals coming down the hill — and from there anything can happen. Edwardstone bounced back to winning ways after a six-race losing streak at Newbury last time, when the switch to front-running tactics rejuvenated the ten-year-old and he jumped and galloped his rivals into submission in the Grade 2 Game Spirit Chase last month, winning by 40 lengths. Jonbon's rider Nico de Boinville offered some fighting talk as part of the Racing Post Cheltenham Festival preview show on Sunday, questioning El Fabiolo's jumping and Edwardstone's ability to execute similarly aggressive tactics against higher-quality opposition. We hope we can [use his jumping to put them under pressure], and there's a lot of pace on. I'd imagine the Tizzard horse [Elixir De Nutz] will be also pretty handy so we don't have to make the running, but we'll certainly be handy and making sure it's a test.
