Recent course and distance winner Turner's Touch is the selection with Glendale and Milk And Sultana rated as his biggest dangers. The Gary Moore-trained four-year-old has won on his last two visits to this track and he should go well in attempting to bring up the hat-trick in what has the look of a competitive handicap. Glendale was a beaten favourite here last time out but had previously won over course and distance so should go well as he was a decisive winner that day for Jimmy Quinn. Milk And Sultana was behind in tenth that day but he has since won at Wolverhampton and here at Lingfield over course and distance in Febuary, so his chance is also respected. Richard Hughes rides Madhavi for Richard Hannon and they are a combination always to be treated with the utmost respect although one win from 20 starts for this filly tells its own story. Once again, then, Turner's Touch is our selection.
