Won 12 of his 19 races abroad, including a German Group 2, so merits a second look on that profile. May have needed the run on his British debut in a Listed race at Ascot, so would be harsh to suggest he is on the downgrade. Current mark does look very stiff for a first attempt in a handicap but will be suited by any give underfoot. One to bear in mind if he comes in for strong support in the betting.
Finished in front of Kaspersky at Ascot and can be fancied to uphold the form on these terms if the ground stays on the good side. Noteworthy that he doesn't have too many miles on the clock for a five-year-old so can use this as a platform for better things.
Won the 2015 renewal of this race from a 3lb lower mark but that was framed with a weaker overall feel. However, he went on to back it up with valuable wins at Goodwood and Newmarket, so is a force to be reckoned with on his day. Still needs to improve on his two previous efforts since his return though.
Just has a solitary win in a conditions race on the AW at Chelmsford to his name but has been highly tried since then. Wintered in Dubai but returned without a win from three starts. Wouldn't be done many favours in rain gets into the ground but has place claims in this company.
Won a Group 3 in Italy as a two-year-old but has been hard to get right since then. Two starts since joining Marco Botti have left a little to be desired and looks anchored by his rating just now.
Respectable effort to finish fourth in a Listed race at York last time (White Lake back in ninth) brings him right into the argument on recent form. That came on the back of his near miss at Newbury (holds Big Baz on that form), so the portents look good. Leading contender in spite of needing to post a personal best performance.
Dropped to handy mark on the pick of his past form but needs to prove he is still in love with the game and may be best watched in his first start since last October.

Forecasts
Another Touch (9/4), Dragon Mall (9/2), Algaith (5/1), Big Baz (5/1), Kaspersky (6/1), One Word More (6/1), White Lake (6/1), Poeta Diletto (20/1)
A few of these are going to be hard to place as the season goes on, so the likes of Algaith and Kaspersky can be expected to be going hell-for-leather whenever the opportunities arise. However, they may just set things up for ANOTHER TOUCH and Richard Fahey's gelding gets the nod on this occasion. His last two starts read well in the context of this race and he may be hard to stop now he has been sharpened up by a couple of solid performances.
