Verdict
If Touch Light does not finally break her maiden tag TEAMtalk will be very surprised. The competition is not up to much and if he can reproduce the Newmarket form he showed earlier in the year he should win this easily. Best of the rest on form is Mexican but he has had enough chances this season and is looked over here. A dark horse could be Mark Brisbourne's Smirfys Systems who put up a decent run on her only racecourse appearance earlier in the season at Doncaster when with Brian McMahon.
