In depth

Verdict

Haka Dancer as yet to win over fences, though he posted a better effort in a hunter chase last time, while Arumun looks no nearer to ending a long losing run. Rince Donn hasn't shown any worthwhile form for some time now which leaves us with GINGER'S LAD. He scored over a longer trip here last May and seems to save his best for this track. He's having his first start since September today but Mick Easterby's charge won't have to be at his very best to get his head in front in this company. 3.20
