In depth

Verdict

With no form to go on here this is probably not a race to get heavily involved in but Silver Touch is reportedly held in high regard by Mick Channon and she gets the vote to make a winning debut at the main expense of Evolve and Good Turn. The last mentioned is a daughter of Royal Applause trained by Richard Hannon and has to be respected but is bred for speed and may find herself being outstayed by one or two of these. Ed Dunlop's horses normally improve with racing so Miswadah may be best watched. Richard Hannon's Danehill filly Rada and Peter Chapple-Hyam's Extraordinary, who is by Swain are others that catch the eye on breeding along with the Michael Jarvis-trained Ghost Story. The Barry Hills-trained Evolve has to be respected with the trainer's runners in such good form but Silver Touch has a decent pedigree and is taken to fulfill her trainer's high hopes for her.
