Verdict
Lethal Touch landed the odds at Wolverhampton last time but is 5lb higher and UNPLUGGED showed signs of a return to form at the same track. The latter won off a higher mark at Pontefract during the summer and it could be his turn again. Mc'Ted placed over track and trip last time while Moonlit Cloud finished second at Yarmouth back in July. Pure Motion and Roaring River step up in trip for their handicap debuts.
