TWIN APPEAL won over the extended 7f at Beverley before struggling at Chester. This looks easier and Karen Tutty’s charge gets another chance with today’s trip less than ideal for several of the opposition. Oud Metha Bridge went close over a mile at Yarmouth recently and Elusive Heights also drops down in distance. Thello has been placed over 6f on the last three occasions while Mujassam and stablemate Black Isle Boy have also been competing over shorter trips of late. Equiano Springs won a lower grade contest here last year when beating Deansgate and the latter went close over track and trip on his latest start but is upped in class or this.
