CHILLI FILLI still had every chance when missing out the last in a Listed contest at Warwick in December. She should be winning this with a clear round as she gets 6lb from Dame du Soir, beaten at Sedgefield after beating a small field at Hereford. The Toojumpa looks the pick of his yard’s two runners based on a couple of seconds at Uttoxeter but Stupid Cupid has had her limitations exposed lately.
