Verdict

Three of the trainers in this have multiple entries with Richard Fahey leading the way with five contenders with the best of those looking to be the well drawn RIGHT TOUCH who could well appreciate this ease in grade. Rajar and Penwortham are two others from the same yard that must be respected although the C&D form of Explain may make him a bigger danger from stall 4 especially with the blinkers on again. Calder Prince would one to be reckoned with but his chance may have been scuppered by the draw.
  1. Right Touch
  2. Explain
  3. Rajar
