Gallops Report: Nigel Twiston-Davies

BLAKLION is to take a similar path that led him to an honourable fourth place in the Randox Health Grand National and the gelding is pleasing in his work for Nigel Twiston-Davies.

The eight-year-old ran only five times last season, starting in the Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby, and that race is likely to be on his agenda again.

He has done well physically and devouring the steep Fibresand gallop that is plays so big a part in getting the Twiston-Davies horses fit.

WHOLESTONE could also be Wetherby bound with a crack at the West Yorkshire Hurdle on the cards.

This former top novice looked to just blow up at the end of the Silver Trophy at Chepstow, a run that should have put him spot-on for Saturday.

BALLYKAN is overdue and one to stay with as at one point in the home straight he was travelling best in the Chepstow race won by Rock The Kasbah.

He has worked and schools beautifully since that solid effort.

BALLYMOY has entries at Ascot and Wetherby and after going well in some midweek work can step up on previous efforts.

LITTLE POP likes to dominate and if doing that can produce another big run in the Listed handicap chase at Ascot.
