MIDNIGHT GINGER added to her tally at Newbury on New Year's Eve and dropping in grade here, Andrew Martin's charge gets the verdict to score again. Lipa K proved a let-down on handicap debut last month, but it's too soon to be writing him off, so he may pose as the main threat, while a case could be made for the remaining duo, also.
