Twin Appeal posted a better effort at Doncaster last time but that may have been down to the soft ground. If that turns out to be the case then BEAUTIFUL STRANGER can take advantage. He finished ahead of previous winner Cahal when third over track and trip recently and gets the vote competing off the same mark today. Mitcd lost his way in the latter half of last season and Proclamationofwar has been well beaten since scoring over 5f at Wolverhampton in March.
