Formscan - TWIRLING was well beaten in the Kensington Palace at Royal Ascot last month, but prior to that she took a class 4 event at Doncaster. The daughter of Churchill is only 5lb higher compared to that triumph and Ryan Moore retains the ride from last time, so she shades the vote. Sterling Knight finished down the field in the Buckingham Palace at the Royal meeting last time, but he is better judged on his victory at Newbury the time before and he should go well. Of the rest, The Ice Phoenix makes the most appeal.
