Newcastle, 15.00 - Back Twistthenightaway @ 4/15.00

Twistthenightaway first appeared on the radar with an eyecatching effort at Uttoxeter back in late October where she showed up nicely until tiring in the race won by the talented La Conquiere.

Given that the winner scored again in Listed company at Newbury on her next start and runner-up, Dream Shadow, won her next two, it looks a piece of form worth heeding and Dan Skelton's mare did enough to suggest a mark of 102 is extremely workable.

Her Uttoxeter conqueror is now rated 133, while Dream Shadow is now 118 (not unreasonable) for her wins at Warwick and Ayr, where that initial success at the Midlands venue featured Twistthenightaway once more.

I got to see her first hand in the flesh that day and she looked for all the word a chaser in the making as she strutted around the parade ring, very much looking the paddock pick.

The Warwickshire raider appears to have been found a decent engagement in which to try and she her maiden tag and, with her pedigree choc full of stamina, a return to this trip should be ideal.

Wolverhampton, 19.30 - Back Rajinoora @ 5/42.25

The decision to step Rajinoora up in distance could be a smart move by connections following a spin through the pedigree of the Mehmas filly.

As a half-sister to two mile flat winner and hurdle scorer Mr Rumbalicious, the selection ought to find today's trip within her remit, while it's also worth noting her dam was related to Derby runner-up Libertarian who also won the Dante that year before finishing an honourable fourth in the St Leger to Leading Light on his final start.

Clearly there is enough stamina in the pedigree for a test like this Class 5 event and perhaps the reason trainer Michael Bell has been reluctant to deviate from seven furlongs or a mile is the fact Rajinoora can race exuberantly and sometimes struggles to settle.
