        Verdict

        SIR TITAN (NAP) gained the eighth victory of his career when making all over the track and trip last week for which he's penalised 4lb, which is 3lb less than he's been raised for future handicaps. He can complete a quick double though Bonus looked a real soft-ground specialist when scoring easily at Lingfield and further rain would aid his cause. His trainer has also booked a 5lb claimer to offset a 9lb rise in the weights. Dourado is reasonably consistent though hasn't won since November 2017 but Hunni would have a chance if the ground turns testing as her last victory came on heavy going at Newmarket.
