Fast ground will be a novel experience for SIR TITUS but he has won on Turf and Tapeta so looks a versatile type and the fact that he only seems to do just enough means that the handicapper hasn’t yet got a grip. He was almost four lengths ahead of Lost My Sock, though soft going didn’t suit the latter that day. International Girl remains unexposed and has form over track and trip while Noorban gets cheekpieces in the hope they inspire further improvement. Coley's Koko is also worthy of consideration.
