Were In Touch, Tom Sayers and Jimmy Tennis are three against the field in this wide open handicap chase and the vote is given to Were In Touch. The selection was a good second behind Mounsey Castle last time out and off the same mark here he will be hard to beat. Tom Sayers rates the main danger as he won well last time out when beating Menphis Beury in good style. However he has rocketed up the weights and as a consequence he looks venerable. Jimmy Tennis is another worthy of respect as he has dropped to a very lenient mark but he was well beaten behind Gunner Wellburn last time so can not be put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder Even More is from a yard in form and should be noted in the market but he disappointed last time and for the winner we return to Were In Touch.
