This is TWIG's time of year (five of his seven wins under Rules have been gained between March and July) and he is of strong interest returned to this sphere following a few spins over hurdles. Indeed, a reproduction of his fine second in the Ultima at last season's Cheltenham Festival would give him every chance. White Rhino's best days are probably still ahead of him and he is next on the list ahead of Weveallbeencaught and Hymac.
