In depth
Verdict
Placed in all five starts so far, Twobeelucky failed to the land the odds at Lingfield last time. He’s clear of the rest on these terms but that was the case on his latest start and APRES MIDI gets the vote. Karl Burke’s filly has also been thereabouts in all three starts including at Carlisle last time when headed close home and is taken to go one better. Fivehundredmiles could also go well and Sinamas is preferred to Clarabel of the newcomers.
