A TOUCH OF CLASS
TOUCHWOOD (4.35) can continue Charlie Hills’ excellent run on a trappy fixture at Goodwood.
The sprinter stayed upwardly mobile when narrowly beaten by the useful Endowed at Brighton.
There is plenty more to come from this likeable type who can go one better under William Buick.
OUTSIDE WORLD (3.30) can shade a competitive nursery for thriving Mark
Johnston. The filly was hugely disappointing when last of 10 in the Group 3 Lowther Stakes at York.
However, the grey was a progressive novice so she can atone in these calmer waters.
JUST HUBERT (4.05) can extend William Muir and Chris Grassick’s winning streak in the two-miler.
A game winner at Ascot, the gelding improved again when chinning Autumn War over track and trip.
The five-year-old remains fairly-treated so he can land another warm event under Nicola Currie.
QUERCUS (1.30) can bag his third success at Catterick for shrewd handler Ann Duffield.
The speedster was unlucky to encounter handicap blot Blissful Song over course and distance.
The gelding still lurks on a workable mark so he can resume winning ways in a tricky contest.
Ollie Pears is hitting peak form so I’m backing SFUMATO (2.05) in a tough sprint.
The gelding shaped like his turn was near when second to the in-form Motawaazym here.
MR STRUTTER (2.35) can make a winning start for Geoffrey Harker in the Racing TV Handicap.
The seven-year-old was a good second to Final Frontier here on his last run for John
Riches. The gelding is admirably consistent so he can defy a 1lb hike for his skilled new connections.
DAPPER MAN (4.10) can turn on the style for Roger Fell in the feature handicap.
The gelding put a couple of poor efforts behind him when just denied by Harrogate at Ripon.
That race is working out extremely well so the sprinter can take advantage of a decent mark.
