Forecasts

Massif Central (5/1), Silverkode (5/1), Titus (5/1), Panstarr (6/1), Atlas (13/2), Band of Outlaws (7/1), Tony The Gent (7/1), Turbine (8/1), Master Speaker (9/1), Captain Cat (20/1), Convergence (40/1)

Verdict

Tony The Gent won this race last year from a higher mark but his tendency to miss the break is off-putting and the ultra consistent TITUS is preferred. The English raider has been in good form of late and he gets the services of a useful 7lb claimer in the saddle. Massif Central may prove to be the main danger after a promising run last time and the handicapper has shown him some leniency dropping him 1lb for that.
