Alner hoping Kingscliff can silence doubters

ROBERT ALNER is hoping Kingscliff can prove his well-being with a bold show in the Grade Two Peter Marsh Chase at Haydock today.

Rumours concerning the health of the leading totesport Cheltenham Gold Cup hope have abounded in recent weeks after the horse drifted on the exchanges ahead of the Festival.

Alner is adamant there has been no problems with the horse since his disappointing run in the King George VI Chase and is looking to set the record straight today.
