    Verdict

    Titus Star's winning run came to an abrupt end when he was well beaten at Wolverhampton last time and Cape Safari's recent maiden victory came on the Fibresand at Southwell. Rio Grande is a winner over 7f on Polytrack but, though he should get today's longer trip well enough, he's returning from a lay-off and BAILEYS STRIDER is preferred. The latter opened his account with a maiden win at Lingfield in January and is fancied to find enough improvement to follow-up on his handicap debut.
