Verdict

Amother impossible-looking handicap but Right Touch could be interesting near the foot of the handicap. Stablemate Lexi's Hero would also have a squeak while Highland Acclaim just failed to catch Caspian Prince over a slightly shorter trip at York last time. CHARLES MOLSON was hampered at the start and again mid-race when down the field at Goodwood last time. He'd earlier run the useful Huntsmans Close to a neck at Windsor and, as the softer ground won't be a problem, should make his presence felt here. Mukhmal was third over 5f here before her second at Chelmsford and is another to consider while Squats is gradually rediscovering his form. But the handicapper may have got to Dawn's Early Light and Cartmell Cleave steps up a grade for this. Growl was a decent two-year-old but has disappointed this season.
