Sir Titan¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Hayley Turner| T: A W Carroll| OR: 80| D

3/1

Dual Goodwood winner last year. Has failed to hit the heights for current yard, but produced a better effort when fourth of 10 to Rum Runner at Newmarket last time, and is now 4lb lower than his last winning mark. Interesting.

Form: 36-7774

(7)

Masked Identity²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Josephine Gordon| T: S L Keightley| OR: 80| D

8/1

Looked back to his best when runner-up at Ascot on penultimate start, but below form either side of that, most recently when 9L fifth of 7 to Motawaj at Sandown last time. Has a little to prove.

Form: 216025

Keepup Kevin²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Shepherd| T: Mrs P Sly| OR: 76| D

4/1

Much improved form when landing a couple of 7½f handicaps at Beverley in May/June. Bit disappointing at Leicester last month, and possible that the handicapper is in charge, and still 4lb above last winning mark.

Form: 504-115

(3)

Young John²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Rossa Ryan| T: M Murphy| OR: 75| D

11/2

Good efforts when in frame at Leicester in April and June. Not seen to best effect dropped to 6f at Windsor last time, and return to his optimum trip should see him competitive.

Form: 5-26445

(4)

Nick Vedder^b¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: J P Spencer| T: M Wigham| OR: 73| D

9/1

Most effective on the AW at Newcastle, and while he has comparable form on turf, he comes here on the back of some unconvincing efforts, and was beaten 9L when third of four here last time.

Form: 164003

(2)

Roman Spinner^t¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: Rae Guest| OR: 71| D

8/1

Yet to win on turf, but has been runner-up at Chepstow and over C&D on her last two starts, and the post came just a stride too soon for her last time. Sure to give it her best shot and remains on a lenient mark.

Form: 476422

(6)

Queen Of Burgundy¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S De Sousa| T: Mrs C A Dunnett| OR: 76

7/2

Has held her form well since winning at Leicester in May, and again ran with credit when third to Thegreatestshowman at Chelmsford last time. Considered on balance, although needs to prove herself beyond 6f.

Form: 127243

Forecasts

Sir Titan (3/1), Queen Of Burgundy (7/2), Keepup Kevin (4/1), Young John (11/2), Masked Identity (8/1), Roman Spinner (8/1), Nick Vedder (9/1)

SIR TITAN wins his fair share, and is now down to the mark off which he won the first of two handicaps last season. he showed he was read to capitalise on that falling mark with a better effort at Newmarket last time, and may have too much firepower for recent C&D runner-up Roman Spinner, who is nonetheless feared most. Young John will appreciate the return to 7f and looks best of the rest.
