Loyal Tycoon can prevail over Tony The Tap, Najeebon and Goodenough Mover. There is not a great deal of winning form to go on here, although quite a few of the runners are well used to the hustle and bustle of handicap company, none more than the seven-year-old Loyal Tycoon. Dean Ivory's charge is a confirmed six-furlong specialist who gained his finest hour when landing the Vodafone Handicap at Epsom for David Nicholls two years ago, and he remains on a fair mark all things considered. Tony The Tap came home first of those on the stands side in a decent handicap over the course and distance last month and always goes well here so is a big danger to the selection, while Najeebon was not disgraced behind Idle Power at Goodwood and continues in good heart, as does the rest of his stable. Goodenough Mover may need the outing and another furlong to repeat the form that he showed last winter, and a chance is taken with Loyal Tycoon.
