In depth
Verdict
Touch Light has shown plenty of ability to finish placed on all three starts in similar company and gets the TEAMtalk vote to finally lose his maiden certificate. Henry Cecil's charge may have needed his latest start following an absence when just touched off at Pontefract and sets the standard. Wise Guy stepped up on his debut effort when tried over 12f in June but has been sidelined since and may find this an inadequate test of stamina while Haddice was a promising third behind the smart Fragrant View in a maiden at Chester's May meeting but has clearly had his problems and may need the outing.
