Verdict

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and form pick MISTER TWIST is fancied to gain a deserved first victory on the back of some good recent efforts. Wexford runner-up HIgh City Roller is feared most on his yard debut ahead of Dylan's Day and J'Adore Chas who can fight it out for minor honours.

  1. MISTER TWIST (IRE)
