    Twis is entered because if he can put up a good performance at Haydock or elsewhere it is the obvious entry for a stayer. He was entered last year as well, but we decided that at 3yo it would be too much too young. The CES can be/is a brutal race.
    As I said in the Ebor thread, he needs rain, if Firm is mentioned anywhere on the course description he doesn’t run.
    I would hold back on putting any money down …..YET.

    Good Morning…….just catching up on here….

    The Twisler was fit and ready to go for The Ebor, but alas the promised/threatened rain did not come enough.
    All forecasts were for heavy rain………nope!

    He’s come back fine, Darryl Holland was, as you saw, pretty kind to him from well out.
    We’re entered in the Old Borough Cup at Haydock, September 3rd. Again….rain needed.

    Charlie Bennett was taken off of Twis by H Morrison to ride Fun Mac. Hopefully CB will be “allowed” back on him.
    Twis is now rated 100, so with another 5lb off will be nicely weighted.

    It’s been a frustrating year, not really had his optimum conditions anywhere, he’s a cracking horse and we’re sure he’s still got lots more to come.

    I’m looking forward (gulp!) to going to South Korea with Solar Deity on September 11th. Hopefully back on his preferred surface he can be the mutts nuts again…….oh….that’s what’s on the menu apparantly.
