TOUCH THE CLOUDS can record his eighth career success by taking the second race on the card a 1m handicap. The selection was returning to form when finishing fourth at Chelmsford last time out and he can get the better of top weight Ravenhoe who was placed on the fibresand last time out and has won over C&D in the past. Ertidaad is a winner here already this year and he can claim third today.
