Verdict
DOUBLE TOUCH never looked like catching the winner when third at Doncaster on his debut but it was a promising start and improvement is expected. He’s preferred to stablemate and newcomer Greenview Paradise but another newcomer in Dawoodi may prove a bigger threat. He’s a half-brother to a Grade 1 winner in the USA among others while Anythingknappen is also worth noting. Looting, Wild Acclaim, Lanjano, Hotfill and Northern Eclipse are all likely improvers and worth montoring for any significant moves in the betting.
