Kamchatka finished half-a-length and one place ahead of BAPAK PESTA on their respective debuts behind Fire Eyes over 5f at Thirsk last month but the latter was very green that day and was noted staying on strongly in the closing stages. This extra furlong should be right up his street and he's fancied to reverse the placings today and come out on top overall. Titus Titan has already been placed at Newcastle and Beverley and should be prominent again but Fantasy Invader needs to bounce back quickly from a modest effort at Ripon on Monday and the Johnston newcomer Polish Crown may be best watched today.
