Verdict
In the opener, Turner's Touch is taken to win again, with his biggest dangers given as Burgundy, Fen Game and, possibly, Mostarsil. Burgundy is not far above an all-weather winning mark but has never won over this far. Fen Game wasn't beaten far off today's mark over 13 furlongs here two runs ago, while Turner's Touch has been a revelation of late, winning four of his last six starts and, even though he is six pounds above the most recent of them, gets every respect once again. Of the others, course and distance winner Mostarsil is entitled to go well if sharp enough after a break and Amwell Brave holds place claims but, for the selection, we return to Turner's Touch.
