      In depth

      Verdict

      TITAN GODDESS (NAP) is in the form of her life at present having won by four lengths at Kempton last week. She’s penalised for that but drops in class and Mike Murphy’s mare can go in again. Ross Raith Rover can race off the same mark as when runner-up over track and trip last time and is preferred to Ted's Brother, who landed a lowly Class 7 contest over 1m2f earlier. Nature Boy is less exposed than the latter pair and finished well ahead of Plucky Dip when a close-up fourth at Kempton on his recent handicap debut so looks the main threat to the selection.
