Formscan - NEXT TWIST has won two of his four starts over hurdles and is upwardly mobile. An opening mark of 121 suggests that he could have plenty in hand over the rest if he adapts to the new challenge over fences. Hypotenus and Garde Des Champs are exposed chasers but could have say if anywhere near their best. Shadowfax Of Rohan can also figure.
