Not a strong contest, and the majority of these find winning opportunities very easy to pass over. Sky Full Of Stars is no world beater, but he's posted some fair efforts this season, including over hurdles at this track so merits consideration off top-weight. However, this looks a decent opportunity for the sparingly raced TITIAN BOY to record a third career success. His ideal trip is probably 2m4f, but he finished runner up over C&D from a 6lb higher mark in March 2017 (to Halcyon Days), and a reproduction of that level of form will be good enough.
