Formscan  - This looks like an ideal opportunity for TWISTING PHYSICS on handicap debut following a narrow defeat on only his third career outing at Carlisle last month. A mark of 84 could underestimate the four-year-old and he may have too much for Victoria Cup winner Hickory, who will appreciate dropping back to 7f. Better known for his exploits on the all-weather, Grand Karat is not to be ruled out, likewise Dorney Lake.
