TOUZR was sent off a short price at Sandown in September on his racecourse debut but looked all at sea. He should have matured since and the 300,000gns colt gets another chance on his comeback with Frankie in the saddle for his retainer. Android will take advantage of any weakness in the selection as he went close over track and trip last month and makes more appeal than the returning Tarara. Castorienta has plenty of catching up to do, but the newcomer Duelling Dragon is worth a second glance especially if supported in the betting.
