Verdict

A desperate Class 7 handicap, in which only four of those declared have actually won a race (with only two of those horses winning more than once), so immensely difficult to offer much in the way of positive thinking. However, there will be a winner, and barring a potential unforeseen gamble developing, it should pay to be with one of those previous winners. TOUCH THE CLOUDS deserves some compensation for a couple of narrow course defeats during the month of September, and this ease in grade provides him with the ideal opportunity to record a seventh career success in the very capable hands of 5lb claimer Manuel Fernandes.
  1. Touch The Clouds
