One Touch has been in good form over hurdles but his record over fences leaves much to be desired. Brian Hughes keeps faith with RAECIUS FELIX with the partnership just coming up short off this mark at Cartmel last week. He’s preferred to Market Rasen second Goldrapper and the frustrating Zuckerberg. Onenightintown won at the 28th attempt at Market Rasen but that wasn’t much of a contest and Nefyn Point has been very disappointing since scoring at the same track in June.
