Verdict
Titaneasy has the edge in experience but appears modest in the extreme. What's My Line and Cobbs Corner, the others to have already raced, also make little appeal and this should go to a newcomer. WALKING ON AIR’s dam has produced winners with all of her offspring to race so far and he’s likely to know what’s required. The mare Lutinebella is a sister to a winning bumper and a half-sister to several winners on the Flat so shouldn’t be short of pace and is a viable alternative.
