Titus Andronicus can get off the mark at the fifth attempt and overcome the challenge of Golden Destiny and Nativity. This is a much weaker nursery than the York contest which Titus Andronicus cut out much of the early running, possibly the five furlongs there being on the sharp side but the ease in the ground will suit Kevin Ryan's charge. Golden Destiny showed improved form to win what was a weak Windsor maiden last time, just prevailing in a tight finish. The third has since left the form down which brings about reservations with regard to the worth of the form but to her credit she looks to have steadily improved for each outing. Nativity is hindered by a high draw here especially given the fact that she possess plenty of early dash in her races. She finished second behind a decent juvenile in Fault last time, just finding the stiff finish against a stout stayer against her. Lesley's Choice and Coconut Shy are others to consider while Alphabeth is exposed but has shown enough to bring her into the equation. Titus Andronicus is a tentative selection to land it.
