Twin Appeal drops into
this grade for the first time since winning, off a 4lb higher mark,
at Wolverhampton over the winter and ran well enough in a gentleman
amateur riders’ race at York last time to suggest his turn isn’t
far away. In fact, David Barron’s 7-year-old is 10lb lower in the
weights than when last winning on turf, at Musselburgh just over a
year ago and, while he’s remained winless for 15 subsequent starts
in that sphere, he’s undeniably well handicapped.
In the Betvictor’s £Priceup Builder Handicap (5.10) at Leicester on Monday,
Indeed, the Oratorio gelding was only
beaten 1½ lengths in a 0-95 contest over course and distance last
summer off a handicap mark of 91 so, with capable apprentice taking
off a further 5lb, he must have an outstanding chance if anywhere
near his best. He has winning form on good to firm going so, while he
does appreciate a little ease in the ground, he should be effective
enough on the prevailing good going to take advantage of a lenient
handicap mark. His draw, in stall 11 of 17, isn’t the best, but the
draw bias on the straight course at Leicester isn’t huge and he
should give us a decent run for our money.
Selection: Leicester 5.10 Twin
Appeal to win 11/2
