KINGSTON holds Dollar And A Dream on his close second behind Handy Hollow over track and trip 11 days ago. He’s never won over hurdles in this country but should put that right today off a lenient-looking mark. Last month’s Newton Abbot second Friary Gold has been quite consistent but Act Of Supremacy returns for a new yard after more than two years on the sidelines. Karamoko looks to be on the upgrade but Rocket Ronnie looks fully exposed, though can’t get much lower in the weights.
