Verdict

This is not up to the standard of what's gone before and few make much appeal. Titans Approach is a bit hit-or-miss and remains winless but Pass On The Mantle had Perfect Timing behind when successful at Market Rasen and should confirm that form. ALDERLEY HEIGHTS was off the track for 18 months before winning at Exeter in March. He followed that up with a staying-on third over further at the same track and wouldn't need much more to take this. Irish Octave was third off this mark at Uttoxeter but would have preferred easier going.
