This is anybody’s race but Ryan Moore’s presence on TOUCH THE SKY takes the eye. He was beaten less than a length at Chepstow on his first start since 2013 and is handicapping for the first time today. Bridge Of Sighs bids for a hat-trick having won lower grade contests on the all-weather while Belle Travers also steps up in class after running well at Nottingham last time. Shining Romeo beat Tatawu over today’s trip at Leicester recently while it was soft ground when Ttainted Love won at Windsor last month and Molten Lava went close over a mile at Bath just 10 days ago.
