Verdict
This looks less competitive than the first division and TITUS GENT may well land his hat-trick. He's been given a short break since his C&D double, but Jeremy Gask's sprinter is worth sticking with in this company despite a 4lb higher mark. Lenny Bee and Forever's Girl have both been running well over 5f recently, though the latter can race off the same mark as April's win over C&D with Dale Swift's claim taken into account, while Roodee Queen and Dashwood have both enjoyed plenty of success this season and cannot be easily dismissed.
