Formscan - Ey Up Its The Boss scored over C&D last time and another bold bid can be expected, but he may struggle to defy a 5lb penalty for that head success. Therefore the preference is for LOYAL TOUCH, who was a good second over the extended 1m2f at Chester on his penultimate start - the winner has since confirmed that form - and the four-year-old might prove a tough nut to crack, should he arrive here in similar form. Titian could also have a say off 4lb lower than his last winning mark.
