Olly Murphy has an excellent record at this venue so it might be worth siding with SURE TOUCH to bounce straight back from a slightly underwhelming effort last time and strike on handicap debut. Pam Sly is another regular visitor to the winners' enclosure here so William Cody, who like the selection could improve in handicaps, is second choice ahead of Thirtyfourstitches.
