Twistaline failed to land the odds in classified company last week having earlier won at Lingfield with both Birkie Girl and Little Raven behind. ART EXPERT is preferred as he faced a tougher task when runner-up at Southwell last time and may improve with blinkers applied for the first time. Fidha could also go well after a better effort here a fortnight ago while My Name's Howard steps up in trip having after placing over 7f.
