The progressive TWILIGHT MADNESS completed a treble with last week’s course and distance success and looks worth sticking with until beaten. Stone Of Destiny, Army Of India and Ramon Di Loria have all fallen victim to the selection though re-oppose on better terms while Hiya Maite has won two of his last three outings but is upped in class for this. Sergeant Tibbs placed at Lingfield on his first start over the minimum trip and looks best of the rest.
