Pinch Of Ginger landed a double at the turn of the year but has struggled since while Battleofthesomme won under today’s rider back in November but has also failed to figure subsequently. GLORIOUS BORU has yet to win anywhere but has the best piece of recent form with a second over today’s trip at Warwick so gets the vote. Silent Steps has won for Bryony Frost in the past while Dalkadam could go well back over a longer trip today.
