In depth

Verdict

Twig has won five times between the flags and both starts under Rules but steps out of hunter chase company and is giving 5lb to FOUND ON. The penny has dropped with Martin Keighley’s mare and she can complete a four-timer even though Arrivederci and Skandiburg are interesting recruits to the novice chase ranks
