Titan Goddess has won her last three under Kevin Lundie. She escapes a penalty for her latest victory in an apprentices' handicap at Leicester so has obvious claims of a four-timer. But, after a couple of months off, ADMIRABLE ART ran a fine race behind Bloodsweatandtears over this track and trip having won on the course in July – he gets a narrow vote. World Record still isn’t badly treated, despite a recent course and distance victory, and the winner should come from these three as the others have a bit to prove at present.
