Will Teasle

Amused showed some battling qualities last month at Leicester when going down by a short head over 7 furlongs. He goes up in distance to one mile but Lingfield is a much sharper track so he can get the trip. The Leicester race was a career best effort on good going so Polytrack can suit. His dam Happy Face ran her best race on an artificial surface. There are numerous winners down the damline, some useful. Amused wears a visor for the first time which may bring improvement.

Next Twist was noted making headway on his hurdling debut last month. The horse has shown his ability to act on soft ground and can improve, hooded for the first time. He is a half-brother to the useful winning jumper Steel Ally who won earlier this month.
