Verdict

RIGHT TOUCH showed promise in his first season and just appeared to get outstayed over an extra furlong on his reappearance at Warwick. With George Chaloner taking off 7lb, he can open his account here ahead of Laudation, who tackles Turf for the first time but is better than he showed when favourite at Lingfield last month. Red Gift has enjoyed a bit of success on the all-weather over the winter while Street Battle won at Wolverhampton in January. Medici Dancer, Dream Ally and Red Cobra may all be capable of better this year while Rat Catcher had Tumblewind behind when winning over 5f here last June, though their fortunes took different directions after.
