Sir Titan ready to shine

● Late starter can pull out all the stops and win at Kempton

Sir Titan appears to have really hit his stride this term and he can keep up the good work with a third victory this year in the Matchbook Traders Conference Handicap at Kempton.

Out of the reckoning in two juvenile starts, Sir Titan was gelded over the winter and that seems to have worked wonders with Marcus Tregoning’s colt boasting two wins and a second in three starts.

Sir Titan made a late start to the campaign, kicking off with victory in a Wolverhampton maiden in June before following up from an initial mark of 82 on his handicap debut at Windsor the following month.

Tregoning then raised his sights for a competitive event at Goodwood and while Sir Titan had to settle for minor honours behind Battered, he was only beaten a head after racing quite keenly and trying to make all. That was still a fine effort on testing ground which possibly did not play to his strengths, but returning to the all-weather here, Sir Titan has every chance of shrugging off a 4lb rise.

Sir Mark

Prescott

is renowned for his horses running up rapid sequences of wins and Anna Medici is just such a runner in the Smarter Bets With Matchbook Betting Exchange Handicap.

She opened her account with victory in an apprentice heat at Chelmsford at the end of last month and has since scored twice more, most recently at Wolverhampton just over a week ago.

Slowly away in another apprentice event, Anna Medici found plenty for pressure to eventually edge home by a short head, showing a very likeable attitude. The daughter of Sir Percy avoids a penalty for that success and with Luke Morris in the plate now, Prescott seems to have made another clever bit of placing.

Wolfcatcherjack can make it a double for Prescott and Morris in the Better Odds With Matchbook Betting Exchange Handicap.
