      Verdict

      It's hard to get away from Taazur while Titus Andronicus could be the one for the forecast. Mark Johnston's colt made a pleasing start to his career at Musselburgh and he's taken to build on the promise of that run by opening his account at the second time of asking. Titus Andronicus was well held on his debut at Leicester but may be able to step up on that form now that he's got a run under his belt. Charging Indian has to be respected with Mick Channon's juveniles continuing to run well whilst Black Attack has a speedy pedigree and could also feature on debut. The selection sets them a decent standard to aim at though and Taazur is difficult to oppose.
