Verdict
Let's Twist Again is only five but has had plenty of experience and continues in excellent form. He's only been out of a place once in his last seven, winning twice, and showed this trip holds no terrors when scoring at Punchestown last month. He has an 8lb rise to contend and AFTER ASPEN (NAP), who was around 5l behind in that latter event, will be a massive 15lb better off so looks the one to be on. Presentingoscar, who won over 2m4f at Clonmel, is yet to prove he stays this far and though No Pressure Pat completed a double over this trip in October he looked in the handicapper's grip on his hat-trick bid at Down Royal. Seskinane hasn't been in the best of form since winning at Navan in April but is still 7lb higher.
