Formscan - The Twiston-Davies' yard remains in flying form and THE EGYPTIAN GINGE could prove hard to beat. The five-year-old ended last season with a victory at Ludlow, and having romped home at Worcester on last month's reappearance, he looks capable of defying a 10lb hike in the weights here. Diamond Geezer showed good progress last term and has to be of interest on his return to the fray, while Roaring Home should be sharper for his recent comeback.
