Sir Titus is having a first run away from Newcastle but Denzil's Laughing and Signora Princess were both winners last time at Catterick, the latter taking advantage of a drop in grade. Equate might do better back on Turf but LAZYITIS showed steady progress as a two-year-old and the Beverley winner could be good enough to shrug off an absence and add to her tally ahead of Country Charm, who also returns from a break, and Musselburgh runner-up Ava Go Joe.
