A winner at Beverley last term, Let's Twist finished closer at Newcastle on only his second start of the year. Frozen Lake began handicapping off a 10lb higher mark when trained in Ireland and is another with claims but HELFIRE makes most appeal. She was beaten a length dropped back to 6f last week but won over today’s trip at Lingfield before that and gets another chance in this. Nellie Deen may improve now handicapping for the first time and Capolavoro was a beaten favourite over course and distance in July.
