COMMON TOUCH just got the better of Capaill Liath at Ayr last time when the latter was subsequently disqualified for his rider forgetting to weigh-in. No Poppy came out of the race and won at York last Saturday and Richard Fahey's charge is fancied to go in again. Xilerator has a bit to find with both of the above on recent running while Roninski and Green Howard arrive in fine form but have something to prove in the prevailing slow ground. Klynch acts on the surface but 7f could be a problem for him.
