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.
