Verdict

TWISTTHENIGHTAWAY won her first 2 starts in handicap hurdles, at this course on the second occasion, and she can leave behind a lesser effort as she makes her seasonal/chasing debut. Out of a useful chaser, she gets the vote ahead of The Big Breac who was successful on last season's return, with Bataillon completing the shortlist.

1	Improved up in trip sent handicapping over hurdles, making it back-to-back wins with a cosy success at this venue (23f) in February. Shaped as if amiss when pulled up at Ayr in April, but's she's bred to make a chaser so is well worth another chance for her leading yard. 1st Pick 1 Twistthenightaway (Ire) Jockey: Harry Skelton Trainer: Dan Skelton J: Harry Skelton T: Dan Skelton	100	-	-	-	19%	9/2
