Kingsfort Hill has the ability to go close in a race like this off his current mark but DEAR RALPHY was in front and travelling best when stumbling and coming down after jumping the second-last at Plumpton last month, leaving Hilltown to land the spoils. Compensation could be forthcoming here with a clear round. Ben Bulben’s best run came here last year but he’s changed stables since last seen and For Gina has proved frustrating to follow.
