Not a very strong handicap to conclude proceedings here and we'll take Tittle to land it, with Midnite Blews and Easy Wonder also short listed. Henry Candy-trained Tittle handled fast ground pretty well last time out at Warwick over six furlongs, where the trip and lack of a recent run were probably more to blame for her defeat. Dropped back to the minimum here and with that run under her belt, plus an attractive enough mark of 58 for her handicap debut, she may be up to the task. Midnite Blews is a more seasoned handicapper who went well over 6f at Folkestone last time. Fast ground suits and he has at least got winning form, albeit in a Bath claimer, so he is respected, in this company. The same can be said of Easy Wonder, who caught a tartar at Warwick last time. The trip is his main concern here, and it may be significant that Seb Sanders, the only jockey to have won on him, looks elsewhere in the race. Enodoc races at his optimum distance here and will like conditions. He can get competitive, but perhaps needs a drop in the weights. Miss Firefly is worth a try at a trip over which she is unexposed, while Diademas is on the same mark as when going close against his own age group at Newmarket last time and may prove the biggest danger. It's the lucky last though and the crowd at Brighton may well be cheering "Go Tittle"!
