Forecasts

Verdict

TWIG was unable to sustain his effort in the River Don at Doncaster last time, but he was said to have been showing signs of heat stress in the aftermath, so he's well worth another chance, especially now returned to calmer waters. American Sniper also needs to bounce back but will pose a big threat if doing so, while Time To Dazzle showed ability under a considerate ride on his debut here last month and shouldn't be overlooked with improvement anticipated.

  1. TWIG
  2. AMERICAN SNIPER (IRE)
  3. TIME TO DAZZLE (IRE)
