Mistress Twister is taken to overcome the opposition here, headed by Dark Charm and Mayadeen. Dark Charm scored at Haydock three outings ago on heavy ground but has been soundly beaten since. He can handle faster ground but may be a little high in the weights at present. Mayadeen is now a four-year-old but hasn¿t won since his juvenile days. He has tried hurdling without success and is another who needs to come down the handicap. Mistress Twister has won two of her last three starts and in between those wins ran well from a wide draw in a tough York handicap. This looks to be another winning chance for Mistress Twister off only a three pound higher mark.
