Honourbound¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Hayley Turner| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 59

TWISTER represents a useful yard and can go one better than when finishing runner-up over C&D last time out by taking this three-year-old handicap. The selection remains open to improvement and can see off his rivals here with Hot Off The Press capable of claiming second following a good run on turf last time. Top weight Gemini can finish third on her first AW start.
