It can pay to persevere with TITUS SECRET now he is getting his act together on turf and he looks to have been found a decent opportunity to boost his profile. The fitting of the hood may be just the push he needs. Indian Affair has a very consistent profile and will be hard to keep out of the frame if he runs his usual race, while New Rich is better on the AW surfaces but has little to find to get competitive in this company. Champagne Bob is forwarded as the best of the rest but makes his first start of the new campaign and is likely to need the outing.
