      Verdict

      Turner's Touch can beat Nawow and Dower House, with Top Seed worth a mention at least. Turner's Touch has won two of his last five starts, the most recent of which was just 12-days ago at Kempton off a mark of 63. Successful three times round here over 10-furlongs in the past, he has already shown that he can cope with the extra two furlongs, and off what is still a reasonable handicap mark, is the one to beat. Nawow has been enjoyong life more on the Flat than over jumps this year, and has been unlucky on more than one occasion. Peter Cundell's six-year-old should again go well, but is likely to come off second-best again. Dower House has belied his advancing years to make his presence felt of late, but has topweight to overcome, and Top Seed is worth taking on at present. We intend to do just that, with Turner's Touch our idea of the winner.
