Twist On Ginge has been very lightly raced but still looks a few pounds high but Midnight Gem, a winner at Huntingdon in November, was still in front when falling three out at Doncaster last time. BALLYTHOMAS has completed a double over fences at Musselburgh and reverts to hurdles on a 12lb lower mark. With Ryan Day's 5lb claim a plus, he's taken to complete a hat-trick though Fifty Bob looks a threat. Kim Bailey's charge paid the price for too many mistakes at Huntingdon last time but his earlier effort at Doncaster showed he is going the right way.
