Kingston has been raised 9lb having ended a long losing run with a success at Ffos Las last month while Little Windmill scored over these fences before unseating behind PERFECT TIMING here recently. The latter can defy a 5lb rise having also won at Huntingdon earlier and the hat-trick beckons for Neil Mulholland’s charge. Gores Island hasn’t won for some time but ran well behind Pearls Legend here last time and could figure dropping down a grade for this.
