Race preview
The handicapper has given some respite to Strong Johnson, who should prove more competitive now 4lb lower than his recent fourth-placed finish at Catterick. Preference, however, is for last month's York winner KUWAIT CITY. John Butler's gelding impressed with the amount of ground he made up from an uncompromising position and a 6lb rise may underestimate him. Sir Titus is only 1lb higher than his runner-up effort on reappearance at Beverley in April and completes the shortlist.
