Verdict
Touchwood had been threatening to win for some time before scoring comfortably at Lingfield a week ago for which he has a 5lb penalty. Elusive Angel had been running well before a very poor effort at Yarmouth, which wasn't her form. AGNES GREY had been running consistently before well beaten on heavy ground at Ayr and is now on her lowest-ever mark so looks the one to be on. The Spotlight Kid has won twice on Turf but hasn't been placed in 10 all-weather starts.
