RAGAMUFFIN was never getting to Bempton Cliffs at Warwick but that was a solid first run over fences from Neil Mulholland’s top weight, who can go one better here. Above Suspicion has been hit-and-miss over the larger obstacles so far while Gambie Tiep is making his chasing debut, though has been lightly raced and has twice run well over hurdles at Wincanton so should handle this sharp track.
