TWIN SOUL is making decent progress and landed a double when running out an easy winner at Lingfield last week. He'd scored over C&D before that and today's penalty doesn't look like stopping him notching up a hat-trick. Colebrook found a rejuvenated Geordie Iris too good when stepped up to 1m2f on his latest start and it remains to be seen if this longer trip will suit, while the same can be said for Mrs Neat, who also steps up in distance after her win at Lingfield. Blue Cossack stays well enough but may struggle off an 8lb higher mark for his recent success at Wolverhampton.
