Verdict
Riddlestown saves his best for Southwell nowadays and won at the latter track earlier this month - he was also entered at Huntingdon yesterday. He’s penalised along with General Girling, a recent shock winner at Wincanton on only his third start over fences. But it could be the turn of LEITH HILL LEGASI (NAP) today given Charlie Longsdon’s charge just missed out over course and distance last time having slid down the weights in the last year or so. Gibbstown is struggling off his current mark and Kapricorne has yet to win over fences.
