      Verdict

      TWICE RED made a winning debut for David Barron at Southwell in March and a subsequent winner has come out of the race. His winning relatives have scored on fast ground and Polytrack so a follow-up looks on the cards on his first start for new connections. Volcanic Dust looks a threat having been placed on his last three starts and Take Root has gone well here before, but the main danger is Royal Bajan. He scored over C&D on his debut and looks capable of further improvement after landing a handicap at Nottingham last month.
