Verdict
No less than five of these took part in a higher grade contest over track and trip 10 days ago when TWIN APPEAL (NAP) came out best. David Barron's charge was beaten a length in third place just ahead of joint-favourite Cordite and is fancied to confirm running here as that was his first start since September. Invoke, Dubai Hills and Showboating also have a bit to find with the selection and the latter had earlier finished second to Ian's Memory over a mile here. Air Of York has a tough task in this grade while Fairway To Heaven is a rare winner nowadays and looks to be treading water off his current mark.
