TWIN APPEAL has bounced back to form the last twice, following up a cosy Beverley success with a really good third at Catterick when staying on well after not getting the run of the race by any means. He gets on well with Gemma Tutty, handles forecast conditions and can notch a ninth career success. Black Friday, yet to shed maiden status, has some solid form in the book though and should go close if able to produce his best on this first venture in these conditions. Mardle is interesting as he's unexposed and returns from wind surgery after disappointing when last seen and both Zoravan and Knowing Glance are consistent types who usually run their race.
