LOYAL ROYAL looks the safest option. A C&D winner last month, he always runs his race here and his best should be good enough to get the better of these rivals. Speak The Truth may have found the minimum trip too sharp here on his latest start. He went close over C&D previously when he had Mr Skipiton behind but the latter is weighted to reverse the form on this occasion. Radiator Rooney has a bit to find with a couple of these on recent running while Memphis Man has been below par of late.
