Verdict
TWILIGHT MADNESS bids for a hat-trick having won a couple of Class 4 sprints including over track and trip last week. He’s taken to defy a penalty in this. Never Dark also arrives in good form having won at Wolverhampton before finding Jeans Maite too good here and that pair can figure again while both Expert Opinion and Yimou placed at Chelmsford recently and the former gets a change of headgear.
