Signposts: Wholestone looks hard to beat for Twiston-Davies

Nigel Twiston-Davies has a 23 per cent strike-rate in this period in the last five years and he runs Wholestone, who makes his handicap debut in the 4.10. The trainer won this with a similar type last year.

When Kevin Ryan and Kevin Stott combine at York, they operate at a 23 per cent strike-rate. Syphax goes in the 2.05 for the pair. His only try over this distance was in the Dante where he was seventh and he is worth another go.
