In depth
Verdict
Morning Beauty has won twice in recent weeks including over 1m5f here in July where she had only three opponents. FLORIA TOSCA was having only her sixth start when making all over this trip at Leicester and she should have more to offer. Luca Cumani's progressive filly gets the vote though Miss M gained a comfortable victory at Windsor in July before a disappointing run back there a week later.
