Ashington is versatile but usually finds at least one too good. One Touch was returning from a lengthy absence when fourth at Newton Abbot. He only weakened at the entrance to the home straight and will strip fitter here. Sacchoandvanzetti was only beaten half-a-length at Southwell having a first run for new connections and City Derby has been consistent enough since scoring at Wetherby in April. A decent juvenile, CHAOS CONTROL tries a new trip but is still relatively unexposed in handicaps and a 2lb drop in the ratings is a bonus.
