      Verdict

      Spice Fair won this in 2014 and could go well with Frankie taking over the reins. Rideonastar was placed at Salisbury a fortnight go having won over today’s trip at the same track before that while Desdichado was beaten less than a length when second at Nottingham back in April. TOUCH THE SKY had been off the track since 2013 when making a comeback in April. He has since made up for lost time by winning at Pontefract by over three lengths last month and this longer trip looks sure to suit on that evidence. David Elsworth’s charge is also preferred to Brighton winner Hatsaway and gets the vote.
