Verdict
Twycross Warrior won at Uttoxeter in May but only beat one home at Southwell four days later and has been absent since. Dollnamix was second three times last season but weakened quickly on his reappearance and is still a maiden. No Getaway is also winless but found only one too good at Warwick in March and is preferred to The Crooner and Mix Of Clover, raised 5lb for winning on a quicker surface at Ludlow. TOP UP THE FASHION (NAP) has to concede weight all round but chased home a decent sort at Warwick in April. The first, fourth and fifth have all won since to frank the form.
