KINGSCROFT has gone close in similar company of late. He found his way blocked when just about to make his run at Wolverhampton last time and can go one better in this if avoiding trouble. Frankthetank won a lowly seller last time while Rich Again is upped in class off a higher mark after scoring at Wolverhampton. The inconsistent Big Whiskey may get involved and Stonefield Flyer could figure off his current mark having slipped down the weights.
