Ginistrelli is back in his comfort zone having run on the Flat at Ascot last time. He’s won a couple of times over timber but is possibly a few pounds too high at present and GREY GIRLY is preferred. She’s only gone up 3lb since scoring over course and distance earlier in the month. Cartmel runner-up Darkest Day has his first run in a handicap for new connections and the four-year-olds My Macho Man and Genever Dragon can also play a part.
