Loyal Touch²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Hart| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 87| D

5/1

Progressing well, looking suited by the step up in trip when easily off the mark in a 7-runner novice at Carlisle (7.8f) 4 weeks ago. Opening mark could have been kinder but can't be ruled out.

Form: 331

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 86| C

12/1

All the better for debut when winning 6-runner maiden here (7f). Better form upped in class when 9 lengths seventh of 9 to Chaldean in Acomb Stakes at York (7f, good) 31 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Not taken lightly.

Successful debut in 7f Redcar novice but easy to back and beat just a couple home under a penalty in Haydock event next time. Stiff task at York since. Significantly up in trip. Tongue strap on 1st time. Makes handicap debut.

Forecasts

Animate (6/4), Have Secret (5/1), Loyal Touch (5/1), Pol Roger (11/2), Metal Merchant (12/1), Feel The Need (12/1), Monty Man (18/1), Roll It In Glitter (20/1), Rory The Cat (25/1), Rievaulx Raver (25/1), Vince Le Prince (25/1), Disputed (25/1), Humble Spark (80/1)

POL ROGER is progressing nicely and remains one to keep on the right side of now going for the hat-trick on handicap bow. Animate is another progressive sort who beat a subsequent winner in a Newcastle novice 4 weeks ago and is next best ahead of Have Secret, who's made a positive start in nurseries.
