In depth
Verdict
Loyalty won five times on Polytrack in 2011 but his form has gone to pieces this year hence a 24lb drop in the weights. Fabled City's previous attempt at a mile doesn't boost confidence although he's been in much better form since while California English is capable at this level but is inconsistent. Committed front runner, Miami Gator, is struggling at present but Morant Bay showed signs of a return to form at Wolverhampton last month. AQUILONIUS won off a 4lb higher mark for Jim Bolger in Ireland earlier this year and having been beaten only a nose on his latest start, he's taken to open his account for Stuart Williams today.
