Verdict

A couple of these have much the strongest form with BLIND BEGGAR preferred to Touchwood. The former bumped into one when second to Group 3 entry Twilight Spinner at Ripon last time but should make no mistake in this. The latter placed in a handicap at Windsor recently and should have the measure of Mayelf, a runner-up over 7f at Southwell on his debut, while Morty may prove best of the rest.
