Race preview
Plenty in with chances in a competitive heat but perhaps MISTER TWIST can get his turn after a string of consistent efforts. Philip Fenton's charge was only beaten a length when second at Kilbeggan in April and was nearest at the finish when third over 2m3f at Downpatrick last time. He'll handle the good ground and may appreciate the step up in trip. The locally-trained Doyouthinkso won over 2m at this venue last year and was fourth off this mark here in April. He has since finished second over 1m5f on the level at Navan and has good prospects of staying this trip on good ground. Natural Look hasn't been seen since October but has to enter calculations. She was placed twice here last year before winning over 2m4f at Gowran and lost nothing in defeat at Thurles when second to a mare that went on to win her next three races.
