Floristry gets the vote in a tricky looking maiden, Hampstead Heath and Bonjour Allure look to be the main rivals. Sir Michael Stoute doesn't send too many runners to the East Yorkshire track and Floristry showed enough on her debut to suggest she can pick up a small race. She was quietly fancied in that Yarmouth race but ran very green. She looks certain to improve a bundle and is the best option. Hampstead Heath has similar claims having gone off favourite for his Sandown debut. The Mark Johnston juveniles tend to improve with racing so he looks an obvious threat. Bonjour Allure ran a decent race on her debut and she should again be on the premises. The nicely bred Talon would appreciate any rain and is another likely to progress, however we prefer the chances of Floristry, and she just gets the nod.
