      Verdict

      Both FLOOD WARNING and Dark Titan won a maiden races over a shorter trip here last month. The latter beat a subsequent winner but the former is a sister to a Listed winner over 1m2f and Clive Cox’ filly may just edge this. Plead won her maiden over today’s trip at Lingfield in December but hasn’t raced since while Critical Thinking narrowly beat Good Time Ahead in a claimer last time and are hard to separate.
