Magern Ready To Roll Nigel Twiston-Davies sees no reason why Ollie Magern cannot return to his best form in the Stan James King George VI Chase at Sandown on St Stephen's Day. The seven-year-old was a major disappointment last time out when he trailed home in last place behind Kingscliff in the Betfair Chase at Haydock last month. Prior to that outing, however, the Alderbrook gelding put in a brilliant round of jumping to beat Kingscliff by one and a quarter lengths in the bet365 Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby. Twiston-Davies revealed Ollie Magern finished lame after the Betfair Chase, but stressed his charge is now back on top of his game after an impressive spin on the gallops. 'We don´t really know what happened to him (in the Betfair Chase),' the Naunton handler told At The Races. 'He ran badly at Haydock but was found to be lame afterwards. 'Things are okay now though - he worked well and I´m very happy with him.'(C) PA Sport
