      Verdict

      Another Touch made a winning start on the all-weather at Chelmsford last month. He’s not badly treated on past form on Turf but that was his first success since 2017 and KUWAIT CURRENCY is preferred. The latter has been racing over 1m2f here recently and finished ahead of Goring, who won this back in 2017, on his latest start. Both victories earlier in the year came over today’s trip at Kempton and Richard Hannon’s charge gets the vote returning to a mile. Mr Scaramanga also drops down in distance and is preferred to the struggling Sanaadh while Michele Strogoff and Apex King will find this tough racing from out of the weights.
