Innocent Touch wasn’t beaten far when fourth here in June and is 4lb lower today but stablemate Carnageo steps up in trip, though won the Carlisle Bell under Paul Hanagan in the summer. Dance King won the Cumberland Plate at the same meeting at Carlisle and Visitant has won over 1m1f here but is 9lb higher for this. Indian Chief is penalised for an easy win in soft ground at Hamilton while the likes of Hanseatic, Briyouni and Trading Point will all have their stamina to prove. SAVE THE BEES struggled in a Class 2 handicap here last time but had won at Beverley before that and he gets the speculative vote in another open-looking contest.
