Verdict
Hollie Doyle has already scored twice on TWILIGHT MADNESS in his unbeaten campaign and the combination is hard to oppose as the Twilight Son colt even though he steps up in grade and tackles his elders for the first time. Fellow three-year-old Royal Musketeer is respected on his best efforts this term, though the exposed Yimou looks the main danger off the back of two decent runs in Newmarket handicaps as he's also a course and distance winner.
