GIN AND TONIC never figured behind Dizzey Heights here in November but enjoys a turnaround in the weights today with that rival and was recording a third course victory when successful over track and trip last month, for which he was only raised 3lb. Yourholidayisover finds little off the bridle but was only beaten a neck over fences here two runs ago and is rated 14lb lower over hurdles. Northandsouth will have needed his first run for new connections at Uttoxeter and has claims, as does Hurricane Rita if you ignore her latest run at Ffos Las.
