      Verdict

      INNOCENT TOUCH came off second-best in a fight to the line at Wetherby last time but Richard Fahey’s charge should go close again with Adam McNamara’s allowance in his favour. He’s preferred to Renfrew Street, who ran well again over 1m4f at Beverley having won over today’s trip at Pontefract earlier. Euchen Glen returned a 20/1 winner over 1m4f last time and is upped in class along with Hamilton runner-up Star of Spring, who has yet to run over this far.
