Verdict

Impossible to rule out any of these but TITLE gets the vote to make a winning handicap debut. Roger Varian's charge has his quirks, but he's still lightly raced and there should be more to come from the sole 3-y-o in this line-up. Dark Jedi proved at least as good as ever when a close third at York last month so he can give the selection most to think about, ahead of Ian Williams' Cardano.
