Verdict

LOYAL TOUCH shaped as if needing the run when returning at Ripon earlier this year and the first-time tongue strap could spark improvement back on the all-weather. Theophilos ran respectably when fourth in a handicap here less than two weeks ago and could progress in this claiming company. Porsche Lad has strong Dundalk form and will appreciate returning to 12f.
