      Verdict

      RED TOUCH was winning a handicap for the first time when scoring over 7f here last week. But this looks no tougher despite a penalty and he he stays today's longer trip. The Firm landed a double over course and distance earlier this year when beating Stun Gun on both occasions though both finished down the field here last time while Eium Mac's recent victory over track and trip was only his second success and a 5lb rise may prove beyond him. Sooqaan last won in 2014 and still looks too high in the weights.
