Verdict
LOYALTY carries a penalty for last Monday's victory at Kempton but this looks no tougher. He beat Kickingthelilly earlier in the year and finished ahead of subsequent winner Aquilonius when third at this track last month. Derek Shaw's charge can go in again as Takeitfromalady is having his first outing since October, though he does have the form to figure if at his best. Mister Musicmaster bids for a hat-trick off a 5lb higher mark upped in class but Lord Ofthe Shadows drops down a grade and makes more appeal than Dr Red Eye despite being hard to win with.
