Verdict
Loyal Tycoon comes here at the top of his form and can run in this off the same mark as when winning here last week. While he is sure to run well, he has been done no favours by the draw. Danielle's Lad isn't as good on the all-weather as he is on turf, while Cash, although a winner over this trip, is probably better at the minimum. Night Shift Blue's will be suited by a return to this trip, having found things happening to quickly for him over the minimum. Mister Sweets has it all to do from his draw, as does Teyaar. Port St Charles has been running well of late on the Polytrack, but has yet to encounter this surface. He handled soft ground on turf so there is no reason why he shouldn't be just as at home here. Lucky Star will be more at home over this trip, having found five furlongs too sharp last time, but that was in a seller and she may find these too hot to handle. A chance is taken with Dil, who will be suited by the likely strong pace and can provide Norma Macauley with a welcome boost.
