Titi Makfi¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: P J McDonald| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 102| D

11/10

Won her first race at this level at Kempton in November and went close to a second at Goodwood two starts back. Draw possibly to blame for defeat at Chester last time and she holds strong claims here.

Form: 631-620

Company Asset²¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 100| D

9/2

Runner-up on her only previous attempt at a Listed race (in France) and seems versatile as regards the ground. Not seen since subsequent heavy defeat in a Group 3, though.

Euro Nightmare¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: P Mulrennan| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 89| CD

6/1

Ran well at Hamilton in a handicap last time out, but yet to place at Listed level from three attempts and every chance it could be a similar story here.

Form: 1669-02

Polly Glide¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: J P Sullivan| T: L Smyth| OR: 77

50/1

Ran a couple of nice races among her five starts in maidens, including last time out, but marked improvement needed if she's to play a part in this.

Form: 6/544-2

Rippling Waters⁵⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: G Lee| T: M R Channon

80/1

Didn't play a part in the closing stages of either of the two bumpers she contested, and best watched on first run under Flat rules, especially as this isn't exactly an easy introduction.

Snowy Winter^t¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: D Tudhope| T: A Watson| OR: 90

14/1

Tailed off in a Listed race at Goodwood last time out in which a few of these played a much bigger role, and she's difficult to build a case for off the back of that effort.

Form: 337839

Wingingit¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Rob Hornby| T: A M Balding| OR: 99| D

3/1

Behind Titi Makfi at Goodwood last time out and tough to see her reversing that form over this shorter trip, given they meet on the same terms.

Forecasts

Titi Makfi (11/10), Wingingit (3/1), Company Asset (9/2), Euro Nightmare (6/1), Jet Streaming (7/1), Snowy Winter (14/1), Polly Glide (50/1), Rippling Waters (80/1)

With a wide draw excusing her poor effort at Chester last time, TITI MAKFI looks the one to side with here. She's run well on her last two starts in Listed company, including when second at Goodwood two starts back when a number of these were in behind. With few other threats of which note the top rated filly in the field can confirm her dominance and win again. Jet Streaming was one of those behind the selection at Goodwood last time and should run well, while Company Asset was a runner-up at this level in France at the end of last season.
