Verdict

SURE TOUCH has placed in a couple of handicaps since the turn of the year. He was raised 3lb following his second at Hereford so is rated only 4lb lower than Irish import Fire Squadron, who is heading in the opposite direction. Ami Des Flots is a danger as she found only one too good on her hurdling debut and first run for Kim Bailey at Ffos Las.
