John Oxx has been short of Group 1 winners since Sea The Stars so My Titania will carry the best wishes of many racing fans. She's a daughter of that great Derby and Arc winner and looked a potential classic winner when beating Chicago Girl here in September. LIGHTNING THUNDER was narrowly beaten by Miss France in the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket and that's the best form on view. Olly Steven's filly veered off a straight line in the closing stages or she may have won but this looks a very nice consolation. Palace and Marvellous represent Ballydoyle and Joseph's presence on board the former suggests she's the stable pick though though the latter looked certain to be suited by this trip after staying on over 7f at Leopardstown. Tested has won a couple of minor events without being unduly concerned and stablemate Vote Often won a Group 3 here in March though this is very much tougher.
