Verdict
Most of these have form on the surface and Thechildren'strust finished runner-up over 7f here recently. Muqarred won a claimer over track and trip last year but hasn’t raced since April while Sooqaan has fallen victim to both recent course and distance winners Tagur and Showboating. The former is preferred of that pair while Pearl Spectre is a dual winner on the Fibresand and is back on a winning mark. However, RED TOUCH should be sharper for last month’s reappearance and having won off a similar mark here back in March - he may good enough again in a tight contest.
