Touch The Clouds recorded his first win since 2013 when successful here last month and is upped 3lb. But preference is for MUTHRAAB ALDAAR given he won off a similar mark at Wolverhampton last summer and was placed at the latter track on his latest start. Limerick Lord and Dukes Meadow keep threatening to end long losing runs without doing so while Rattle On is not badly treated on earlier placed form.
