        Verdict

        Get Knotted reverts to 7f for his reappearance but remains 8lb higher than when scoring at York last summer. Alnashama and Orewa showed progressive form last year but both have something to prove off their current marks while Gallipoli made a winning return at Leicester last month and is raised in class along with last week’s Beverley runner-up Aardwolf. TWIN APPEAL faced a tougher task when only fifth at Haydock a week ago but had won nicely at Musselburgh before that and David Barron’s course and distance winner can go close again.
