TITIVATION's debut will have excited plenty of people and she may be able to overcome the challenges of Heaven Forbid and Derecho amongst others. Michael Bell's filly is a 200,000 guineas purchase as befits a half-sister to Attraction and Racketeer and Titivation appears to have inherited plenty of the family's talent judged by her third at Newbury last month; form which gives her leading claims. Heaven Forbid and Derecho are two more to have shown ability on debut that look sure to improve with experience but many expected Law Of The Range to do the same at Doncaster but she failed to justify the market confidence so improvement can't be guaranteed. Law Of The Range didn't enjoy the smoothest of passages so may be worth another chance whilst Miss Mittagong and Woodford Belle both showed enough in two runs last year to think that they can win races and it's worth noting that Ralph Beckett has run some of his nicer three year olds here. That's My Style and Best Intent can't be dismissed out of hand but Titivation promises to be smart enough to go close.
