Mark Milligan: Twisting Physics should catch the eye again
“Twisting Physics (Lingfield 12:55) could hardly have been more of an eye-catcher on his recent return when sixth in a similar race to this at Newbury last month, where he fairly rattled home having been set plenty to do from the rear under Jamie Spencer.
“I'm guessing he was ridden with one eye on stamina there as he was stepping up to this trip for the first time having done his previous racing over 7f and 1m, but the way he finished off his race suggests he shouldn't have an issue with the distance and he struck me as very much one to follow.”

Sam Turner: Back Hickory to hit the heights again
“This season's renewal of the Victoria Cup looks choc full of progressive four-year-olds so Hickory (Ascot 14:20) may have plenty on his plate trying to reprise his win in the race last year. However, his stable struck at Newmarket's Guineas meeting last week with a [25/1] chance and their likeable eight-year-old boasts such a good record fresh that he could be worth chancing here at [10/1] or greater, especially with six places on offer.
“There appears a good spread of pace for Hickory to run at with front runners drawn across the track and, although the selection must run off a career-high mark, his record following an absence from the track of at least six months, reads 121 so he clearly goes well fresh.”

Alan Dudman: Get Mr Swivell onside at Lingfield
“Mr Swivell appeals as one to note for the Lingfield's 15:15. He's priced at [9/1] and Kevin Philippart De Foy has been in good form with four winners from his last 25 runners at 16% and our multiple selection Tycoon earned a place as a BSP 32 horse last weekend for the trainer.
“The gelded son of City Light looks best on good to firm going and produced some good handicap performances last term including seconds at Ascot and Newmarket. Off a mark that requires a personal best from 95, he ran well fresh first time out last season to finish second and this honest sort can go well at a price and considering he's been taking on a good class of handicapper, he can also make the running and has a fair draw in four.”
