All Set To Go got back to winning ways in this grade over course and distance last month but may find GENERAL GINGER (NAP) a tough nut to crack today. Harry Fry's chestnut ran a fine race under a big weight in a handicap here last month, his first outing since November, and will strip fitter today. Great Hall won at Huntingdon in October before finishing fourth under a penalty at Bangor. He's also been waiting for the better ground while Baby Sherlock may do better now switching to hurdles. Weld Arab has won three times up to 1m4f on the all-weather and may be best of the rest.
