      Verdict

      Twisted Logic has his ideal conditions (three miles and good ground) so should go close if none the worse for coming down last time. Martin Pipe's Cadougold has been a model of consistency recently but appears to be in the grip of the handicapper as a result so a better bet may be the Phillip Hobbs-trained Handyman, who has found just the one too good in his last two starts at Fontwell and, most recently, over course and distance when a mistake at the last cost him any chance of victory. Granted a clear round of jumping the last mentioned should go close.
