In depth

Verdict

Rather than guessing which one of today's opposition could bounce back to form, it should pay to stick with TITUS GENT. He's a winner without a penalty having won an apprentice race at Windsor under today's rider last time and Jeremy Gask's charge can take advantage in this company. Jonnie Skull has been running well over further in lesser company, while Quasi Congaree may be ready to strike now with Ryan Moore booked. Ongoodform has place claims, but Seamus Shindig doesn't look anywhere nearer winning despite sliding down the weights. Tyfos and Basle have been placed recently but are both upped in class today.
