    Verdict

    Both Titurel and Wake make their debuts here and they will need to be decent to trouble the two with experience. The former is a Clive Brittain-trained half-brother to Mameyuki, while the latter by Storm Cat, trained by Brian Meehan makes marginally more appeal. However, the duo with the benefit of previous experience have the advantage here and it will be a surprise if the winner does not come from them. The William Haggas-trained Audience ran on well when beating Khabir at Salisbury at the beginning of the month but the TEAMtalk vote just goes to Vilas. Michael Bell's son of Inchinor may not have beaten a great deal when scoring at Hamilton on his debut but he showed a liking for a softer surface there (bred to appreciate it) and we take him to remain unbeaten.
