FIRST TOUCH maintained a sound gallop throughout when making all at Roscommon in September and backed it up with a solid showing over fences, so he makes most appeal in an open race. Sassy Yet Classy is a big threat if ready for her reappearance, and there's every chance Thunderosa can get back on the up 5 months on from a blip at Punchestown.
