Mary Of Modena had Twilight Bay well behind when winning over the minimum trip here last month. She’s 4lb higher today but GIDWA has been raised only 2lb having landed a double over 7f with his latest victory at Southwell. There looks more to come from him back on the Turf. Jastar debuts for a new yard and went close the last time he raced over today’s trip but Antiphon never threatened the winner when placed at Nottingham and Alaskan Jewel’s recent third came in a seller.
