Race preview
FLAVIUS TITUS ran some good races in defeat towards the back end of last season, including when fourth to Tabdeed, a potential Group horse, at Ascot on his latest start, and a gelding operation may just unlock the improvement required to see him get back to winning form. Tommy Taylor (sixth) and Buridan (seventh) both shaped well on their return at Doncaster last month and are entitled to be competitive once again, while Desert Doctor deserves another chance on turf on the evidence of his recent all-weather form.
