Twistaline finished in front of Vive La Reine at Lingfield last week but had every chance at Southwell yesterday and would carry a penalty if successful. MACON BELLE attempts this longer trip for the first time but went close over 7f in a handicap at Lingfield recently and looks worth another chance. Good Humor has slid down the weights while Three Dons is preferred to stablemate Huntsman's Moon.
