In depth
Verdict
Titus Mills won a Listed race as a two-year-old and ran in the Group 1 Racing Post Trophy. But his career on the Flat went downhill after that and there has to be a question mark over his stamina, even on this sharp track. The Stout Italian has twice finished second in bumpers and should find a small race over hurdles but winning pointers River Exit and Sure Thing still have a bit to prove under Rules. UTOPIAN is gradually finding his feet over hurdles and, though this track may not be ideal, he looks the one to beat. Newcomer Young Lou showed promise on the Flat and could run into a place at decent odds if fully wound-up.
