Verdict

FAITH IN FLORENCE finished with running left when an encouraging fourth on her Yarmouth debut and is taken to build on that and strike at the second time of asking. Marsala is another who made a promising start to her career and is second choice, although market support for well-bred newcomers such as Next of Kin, Lady of Hay and/or Takaaful would also bring them firmly into the reckoning.
