Verdict

TWOSHOTSOFTEQUILA improved for the step up to today’s trip at Doncaster and may well cope with a 7lb rise if proving as effective on today’s testing ground. He had Taste The Fear back in third on that occasion and the latter had won at the same track earlier. The betting suggested Camp Belan would go well over a longer trip here last time but he fell early in the race but the unpredictable Aire Valley Lad is due one of his better efforts. Gipsy Lee Rose has placed at the track the last twice without threatening.
