TWOJAYSLAD drops down in trip having completed a double over 3m but this looks a weak handicap and he can defy a 7lb rise for Ian Williams’ in-form yard. Oxwich Bay finished runner-up over fences at Plumpton between moderate efforts over timber while Unai placed at Warwick on his chasing debut and can figure again. Muroor won over a shorter trip here in November and is back on the same mark but Palixandre was still beaten a distance when second at Catterick last month.
