Go for Touch of class

13 April 2012

Silver Touch is taken to add her name to a growing list of Mick Channontrained star fillies by winning the Hungerford Stakes (Newbury, 3.20).

The daughter of Dansili recorded a career best on the clock when third in a Group One sprint at Deauville last time.

Channon challenger: Silver Touch

She will appreciate today's return to seven furlongs, has already won a maiden at the track and goes on any ground so looks a solid recommendation at 4-1 (generally) in a race full of ifs and buts.

The first-time visor worked the oracle for ZOMERLUST (Ripon, nap, 3.45) at York last time and any overnight rain would make him look value at 10-1 (Coral, Hills) in the Great St Wilfrid Handicap.

A high draw has traditionally helped when the ground eases at the Yorkshire venue and stall 23 looks a good berth for the five-year-old who was not beaten far when seventh in last year's renewal.

The headgear appears to have revitalised a horse who has always been a talented sprinter on soft ground and he should be thereabouts if the forecast rain arrives. If the ground stays on top then Malcheek would become a huge danger.

HANSOMELLE (Lingfield, nb, 8.00) has held her form admirably in recent weeks and a reproduction of her recent efforts would see her win the finale at the Surrey track.

Paul Blockley looks to have found the key to TARKESAR (Bangor, 2.50) and he looked to have any amount in hand when scoring at the same venue last time.

Today's lay goes the way of Cormorant Wharf (Newbury, 1.40) who, although consistent, seems to lack a killer instinct.
