    Verdict

    The impressive TITI MAKFI is going for her fourth win in a row and, although this is the longest trip she’s tackled, there are no stamina doubts for the Mark Johnston filly - this course seems ideal for her and she can make all. White Chocolate is also bidding for a four-timer but this tight track may not play to her strengths, while Livella Fella has been in consistent form recently, but has crept up the handicap as a result. Empress Ali is another one who appears to be in the grip of the handicapper while Lady Perignon is likely to need the run.
