Race preview
LOYAL TOUCH won five times on varying ground conditions including twice on the all-weather for Charlie Johnston before joining current connections for just 5,000 guineas this summer. The son of No Nay Never has yet to win beyond 1m2f but has run with credit over this trip and should prove difficult to beat if anywhere near his rating of 86. Denis Hogan is mob-handed with four runners and Benavente, Porsche Lad and Fleetfootsoldier have all enjoyed success at this venue. The market should provide some important clues to their relative merits, while Theophilos holds each-way claims.
