The unexposed LITENUP has been found a reasonable opening for her handicap debut and is forwarded as a sporting selection to forge ahead of the likes of Tarawa Atoll and Lady Dunhill when push comes to shove. A case can also be made for Cash In The Attic, who is open to improvement at this trip and is worth noting in the betting. Lady Dunhill has also created the impression a mile will be her optimum distance and, having gone close here last month, she should not be underestimated. It's rare for his trainer, Edwin Tuer, to have an All Weather contender, so market confidence should not be dismissed lightly. Tarwawa Atoll came back from a break with a solid effort at Wolverhampton nine days ago, and will be a big threat if she can dish out a repeat dose. Her fitness will have been sharpened up no end and the daughter of Imperial Dancer would appear to be a leading player in a race of this nature. However, Litenup showed up nicely for a long way on her all-weather debut in December and, as she is likely to be available at a fancy price, the Alastair Lidderdale-trained filly looks worth a punt in an open contest like this.
