Formscan - After a comfortable success over 2m5f at Newton Abbot last time, Coconut Twist looks set to offer another bold bid, but he may be susceptible to some better treated rivals after being hit with an 8lb rise. Therefore, the nod goes to UNWANTED ATTENTION, who was a clear second over 2m5f at Cartmel last time and a 3lb rise could prove to be lenient. Gentle Connections looked a useful prospect last time and is another to be taken seriously.
