RIVER TILL is worth a chance in this company. Miss Frangiapane and Papillio are forwarded as a couple of likely types capable of posing problems along the way. Papillio has the most experience and, having shown an appreciation for dropping back to six furlongs at Folkestone earlier in the month; James Fanshawe's gelding shouldn't be underestimated. He may not be the best win-only bet of the day but he can easily make the frame at this level. A lack of strength in depth amongst the rest creates a fairly easy introduction for Miss Frangiapane - a half-sister to several winners over a variety of trips. Jeremy Noseda's youngsters have been running well without wining this season, though. So it is feasible to also assume this Acclamation filly will need more time. Therefore, it can pay to side with River Till, who showed stacks of promise on her debut at Yarmouth 15 days ago and she can be fancied to be hard to peg back if she has improved in the intervening period.
