Verdict
Touch Kick hasn’t won since October 2019 but was only beaten a neck at Sedgefield last month. THE FERRY MASTER last won in November 2020 and there is a question mark over whether he’s quite as good as he once promised but he did place off a 7lb higher mark at Musselburgh in January and this is nowhere near as competitive. Hidden Commander won at Newcastle and Sedgefield last season but hasn’t run since January. Domandlouis is still a maiden over fences but has found only one too good the last twice so looks a threat to all.
