In depth
Verdict
Lovely Touch showed further progress when returning from a year off the track with a win at Fontwell. But he has a 13lb hike in the weights to contend with here. Dragon De La Tour ran well for second in a novices’ handicap at Ludlow last time and can figure but INTIFADAH drops down a grade after going close at Huntingdon under Richard Johnson and he gets the vote to go one better. Dalkadam never threatened the winner when third here last time but won off a similar mark at Uttoxeter in December.
