Twitch Hill has shown improved form for racing on a faster surface this season fulfilling the promise shown at Folkestone last month when scoring at the same venue at the beginning of this month and Henry Candy's filly is taken to defy the 5lb rise in the weights for that success and follow up at the main expense of Slipasearcher and Swiftly Addicted. The last mentioned showed promise last term and should come on for his reappearance run over course and distance earlier this month. Lawyers Choice looks to have plenty of weight for what she has achieved, while Nobilissima may need a bit of help from the handicapper. Rosie Cross has run respectably in two starts this term and has claims although a bigger threat may come from Slipasearcher, who should appreciate the faster ground today. Twitch Hill is the clear form pick though and is hard to oppose.
