3/1

200,000 gns Frankel brother to useful winner up to 1½m Frankel's Storm. Dam useful 2m winner. Certainly bred to have a future but Royal Touch has to be considered the stable first string.

Farhh's half-brother ROYAL TOUCH shaped nicely on his recent Nottingham debut and can put that experience to good use and strike at the second time of asking. There are some well-bred newcomers in opposition, notably Otyrar and Movin Time, and the market should provide more clues as to what sort of threat they are likely to pose.
