Verdict

Innocent Touch, a winner at Bangor in May, has gone up 3lb for finishing runner-up at Cartmel but MYSTIC SKY is only 1lb higher than when beaten 1l in a better race over the course and distance in June and gets the vote. Parthenius bounced back to form with a cracking effort at Aintree in June and has the scope to do better while Well Said created a 50/1 shock at Worcester and the runner-up won easily next time. Red Hot Chilly landed a lower-grade handicap at Worcester and couldn't cope with a 4lb rise when fancied at Market Rasen.
