The Twisler was once rated 106 but he's become very disappointing and has changed yards again. Udogo had a good record in Ireland but has run poorly in two recent starts on this track but Classic Villager, who completed a hat-trick in 2015 and hasn't had much racing subsequently, looked on the way back at Chelmsford last time. Calvados Spirit has been looking a few pounds high and though Alcatraz is ultra-consistent he's been going up in the ratings without winning. HOLLYWOOD ROAD won here last month before a decent effort at Newbury. He likes fast going so wouldn't want more rain but looks the one to be on.
