Flavius Titus^b¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: N Callan| T: D Brooke| OR: 52| D

10/3

Latest win at Thirsk in August. Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 11/4) 14 days ago, slowly away. Should be on the premises.

Rebel Redemption^p³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: D C Costello| T: S Dixon| OR: 50| C

22/1

Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Below form sixth of 12 in handicap (15/2) at this course (6.1f) 31 days ago. Needs to bounce back but, having slipped to an attractive mark, he's dangerous to discount.

Form: 375066

9/1

Below form fifth of 10 in minor event (2/1) at Yarmouth (8f, good to firm) 69 days ago. 0-12 on the AW and likely to find one or two too good.

Forecasts

Flavius Titus (10/3), Intoxicata (7/2), Van Zant (11/2), Aviary (11/2), Stoney Lane (6/1), Available Angel (9/1), Ebury (12/1), Rebel Redemption (22/1), Queen Sarabi (33/1), Ourdefence (66/1)

The vote goes to INTOXICATA, who has performed well over a mile the last twice and is presented with a good opportunity to resume winning ways back at what appears to be her optimum trip. Rebel Redemption's recent form isn't overly inspiring, but the handicapper is showing mercy and he could be a threat, while Flavius Titus and Stoney Lane both have claims.
