A tough handicap here for punters to work out with Kick For Touch, Fasgo and Possible Pardon all sure to have their supporters and we will take a chance on Kick For Touch. The gelding from the Henrietta Knight yard did nothing but improve through out all last season and he won well last time out when defeating Lady Felix and with conditions in his favour he will be hard to beat off what looks a fair mark. Fasgo has plenty of ability and is another on a fair mark but he is very hard to win with so for that reason is opposed on this occasion. Possible Pardon could also go well despite top weight he is sure to strip fitter here after his latest seventh behind Spanish Main but he still looks to be in the handicappers grip. Lord Mazie is one of the least exposed in the field and is held in high regard, he is worth noting in the market but he may just need this his first start in 266 days so we are happy to side with Kick For Touch.
