KOLONEL KIRKUP is proving hard to win with but has tumbled down the weights and a close-up fourth at Newcastle suggests he can come out best in this. A winner over hurdles recently, Titus Bolt is only 2lb higher than last year's win on the Flat while soft ground was a legitimate excuse for Sixties Queen running badly at Doncaster last time. Call Of Duty is upped only 3lb for last month's course and distance success and makes more appeal than Kyle Of Bute, who last won on Turf in 2010.
