In depth
Verdict
Magic Twist has shown ability in both outings but needs to settle better in the early stages having been caught close home at Epsom last time. She will likely figure again but SKY VEGAS wasn’t far behind the subsequent Class 3 handicap winner Hariboux when third at Brighton on his latest start and the Hannon colt may prove good enough in this. Maximilius showed up for along way over track and trip on his debut before fading away and should be sharper for this while Viking Honour, a half-brother to three winners, is preferred to Blairlogie of the newcomers.
