Titus Gent wasn't unduly stretched to land a double over C&D last month and the hat-trick is a distinct possibility. Le Toreador went close at York last time and though he's done all his winning over the minimum trip, the 6f here shouldn't be beyond him. Elna Bright has taken to the drop back to sprinting, but is 9lb higher than September's win at Ascot and the vote goes to WHAT ABOUT YOU. Richard Fahey's sprinter won his maiden over C&D at this time last year and arrives on the back of a good effort in a decent handicap at Dundalk last time, his first outing for three months.
