Just six turf starts and she narrowly landed a Brighton handicap (7f, good to soft) in October on her final start for Martin Dunne; another narrow win when she took 7f AW handicap in May and she was back in form when runner-up to a well-in rival at Lingfield (AW) last time; new headgear combination and she'll need considering.

Touch unlucky not to notch his fourth win of the year when beaten a short-head at Southwell a month ago; 1lb rise puts him on the ceiling mark for this class of race and he has a fair chance of making it 3-4 over C&D.
