    Verdict

    A poor turnout for this conditions race and Mark Johnston provides fifty percent of the field with Dubai's Touch and Armigerent and we will side with the first named. As One Does is also expected to be involved in the finish. Dubai's Touch made it third time lucky when destroying his rivals in a Ripon maiden last month. He appears to be improving with racing and will be hard to stop this afternoon. Armigerent showed plenty of promise on his debut, finishing second to stable companion Drumfire. He looked in need of that outing and is expected to come on for the run. As One Does also hit winning form last time, comfortably beating Dowleh. The runner up let the form down on Saturday, but Kevin Ryan's colt did win with plenty in hand and so has to feared this afternoon. Alan Berry's newcomer Craig Y Nos is thrown in at the deep end here and looks booked for last place, but first prize should go to Dubai's Touch.
