Miami Present has to be forgiven a poor effort at Uttoxeter last time but included a success over course and distance in an earlier double. He looks high enough in the weights now but TWIST ON GINGE is not badly treated on the best of his form over hurdles. Nigel Twiston-Davies’ charge made a decent start over fences with a third at Newton Abbot recently and improvement is expected today. Ringmoylan was beaten a long way when second over hurdles here recently but is still preferred to fellow chasing newcomers Thomas Shelby and Looksnowtlikebrian.
