Verdict
TITAN TRIUMPH had Follow The Flag behind when just failing to catch the winner over C&D last week. Brought late and wide on that occasion, he can go one better reunited with winning partner Jim Crowley, who was on board when Bill Knight's charge dead-heated with today's rival Blue Moon on his penultimate start. The latter has every chance once again and is preferred to Buaiteoir, who found the selection too good last time. Lockantanks is holding his form well and he can figure after being headed at the post at Kempton last Sunday.
