Innocent Touch won this a year ago and is off the same mark now, he could play a hand back at a track he clearly likes. Count Calabash hasn't shown a lot since joining this yard, but the booking of Moore catches the eye, while Grapevine is also respected. The one they all have to fear is HIGH END , a son of Dubawi with a perfect record of two from two on the AW so far. There's every reason to feel he'll handle this surface and the longer trip and that will surely make him hard to beat.
