Verdict

A race which quite truthfully is probably best ignored both short and longer-term. However, there will be a winner and the Tina Jackson-trained Younoso is one of the likelier candidates after a couple of fair chasing efforts at Wetherby. However, a leap of faith is taken on the well handicapped (but largely disappointing) TITIAN BOY. He represents an in-form trainer in the shape of Nick Alexander and is now a full 20lb lower (25lb if factoring in the 5lb claim of Sam Coltherd) than when finishing a close second to Halcyon Days over 2m here in March 2017 (heavy).
