Verdict
Seven previous course and distance winners in the line up and a minefield for punters seeking a profit. Darcey would appear to favour a furlong further whilst Loyal Royal will appreciate a return to the Polytrack after disappointing on the turf at Brighton. MAYOMAN is in fantastic form and has to be in calculations as he seeks a hat-trick of wins and although the handicapper is starting to get his measure, there may be one more run before he entirely catches up with Declan Carroll's gelding. Similar sentiments are true of Titus Gent who is in great form and may provide a sustained challenge, whilst Athaakeel struggled here last time. Bobs Dreamflight did well to win at Windsor staying on in the final furlong but our vote goes to Mayoman.
