Verdict
TITAN TRIUMPH is worth another chance. William Knight has brought him nicely back to form in recent weeks and whilst the gelding failed to make the front three here last time he was only beaten half a length into fourth spot. He previously came up against a much-improved player in Lockantanks and hopefully Jim Crowley can deliver him fast and late to claim the spoils. Forceful Appeal came good here last time when landing an ordinary winter maiden but seems rather harshly treated for this handicap bow although there could well be plenty more to come. Therefore, April Fool is seen as the main danger despite a below par effort latest, with Buxfizz needing to improve again on a recent selling win here. Il Battista nearly always reserves his best for the Fibresand.
