Verdict
Robynelle has decent claims having gone close in both starts to date including her latest outing at Doncaster. However, Kevin Ryan knows exactly what's needed to win this as he's trained the last two winners and TOUCH THE CLOUDS may well be good enough. He's a half-brother to a couple of winners on the all-weather while Jimmy Crackle is related to multiple sprint winner Amadeus Wolfe Tone and should also go well. Thornaby Nash is also related to winning sprinters and any support for Good Old Boy Lukey or Luckys Connoisseur should be noted.
