Always an interesting maiden and an opportunity for TITLE to make amends for a narrow defeat on his promising debut here in October. He faces totally different conditions now but appeals as the sort to make consistent progress this term and is one to note whatever the outcome. The Gosden team unleash a couple, of which Glen Savage is presumably the stable preferred with Dettori booked. The market should tell the story with the son of Gleneagles, likewise some other interesting newcomers, of which Zuraig and Into The Fire appeal most. Mariegold takes on the colts but is worth noting after a pleasing debut last season, and Ryan Moore has been booked.
