Formscan - SURE TOUCH has made light work of rising through the ratings after some easy wins in maiden/novice company, most recently bringing up his hat-trick over an extended 2m5f at Fontwell, where he scored by 17 lengths. Olly Murphy's six-year-old returns to handicap company and that doesn't appear likely to halt his progression. Finisk River is likely to be the closest pursuer after scoring at Sedgefield last time when running on powerfully to lead close home. Lord Accord heads the remainder.
