TWIN APPEAL has been kept going throughout the winter so he will have no fitness issues going into a race he won last year from 4lb higher. Ben Robinson's 5lb claim is also a help and he is taken to score. Lualiwa looks likely to be on the premises and could be the main danger, though Set In Stone also makes appeal along with Luis Vaz De Torres. Imperial State is also interesting on his first start for Mick Easterby.
