TITUS TWO bumped into a good one here last time out and can gain compensation today at the main expense of Ya Hafed and Lady Morganna. The last two are only rated in the 60's so the 74-rated Titus Two looks to hold the initiative. His two runs here have been the best of his short career and with no Bloodsweatandtears to worry about he looks sure to run a big race. Improvement can be expected from Izzet who needs a market check at a course his trainer does well at, whilst Hawk Moth will be eligible for handicaps after this third start. Boogie Star and Bouggatti look the two most interesting newcomers, although Rae Guest is a good trainer of fillies so a bold bid from Chasing Pirates would come as no surprise if the market speaks in her favour. Of more interest however is Lady Morganna who probably ran her best race to date at Kempton last month, Sabratha who was backed last time and should relish this longer trip and the softer ground, and also Ya Hafed who seems to have improved with each start and will be staying on well at the line. Park Ballet shaped with plenty of promise at Newbury on debut when staying on from off the pace. She should be wiser today and the trip looks sure to suit, however we are happy to side with the proven course form of Titus Two.
