Titanium Moon landed the odds at Stratford after getting off the mark here in June. She’s still improving and is much preferred to stable companion Maggie O but has to give 9lb to the four-year-old NEW YEAR HONOURS, who justified significant market support in a maiden at Punchestown last month. Hard As Nails won bumpers at Ludlow and Kelso in May and is a full sister to the smart chaser Sam Brown so a switch to hurdles shouldn’t be a problem, though she’ll probably be better over further in time.
