TWISTING PHYSICS caught the eye in a competitive race at Newbury on his reappearance, form boosted by the winner scoring again since, and he is taken to provide his yard with back-to-back victories in this contest. Heading the list of dangers is Man of La Mancha who bids for a hat-trick on his return, with Skipper and Carron others to consider.
