GEM MILL has suddenly found his form and Jamie Moore appears to have unlocked the key to him as he's been on board for his two recent victories. The combination can go in again despite a 7lb penalty for last week's Southwell success. Feeling Peckish was in good form before unshipping his rider at Cartmel and looks well enough treated to get involved while Pharaon De Touzaine was having only his fifth start over fences when beating moderate rivals at Uttoxeter and can improve. Richard Johnson takes the ride on Bobby Donald and Tim Vaughan's charge has dropped to a very lowly mark if his new handler can rekindle his enthusiasm.
