Verdict
Right Touch won over track and trip in April but needs forgiving a poor run at Ayr when last seen. Emilio Largo ran well over this trip at Ascot in the spring and has faced stiff tasks in subsequent runs while Fitz Flyer, Klynch and Bedloe's Island could all figure with a return to form but Spinatrix finished a long way behind PEARL ICE at Newcastle last time. David Barron's five-year-old has been slow to come to hand this year but is now 2lb lower than when successful over course and distance last summer and could be ready to recapture the winning thread with the plum draw.
