Algaith and Kaspersky finished fourth and fifth in a Listed Ascot contest on their respective seasonal reappearances and there should be little between the pair here, although the latter may be open to greater progression as that represented his first start for Jane Chapple-Hyam since moving from Italy where he enjoyed an exceptionally strong winning record. Both should be involved at the business end but ANOTHER TOUCH has been putting in some cracking efforts in high-class handicap company and recent performances in the Newbury Spring Cup and the Hambleton Handicap at York suggest he's the one to beat here in receipt of of weight from the top two. White Lake may improve for the application of a first-time visor and completes the shortlist.
