      Verdict

      FLOWER OF LOVE showed the benefit of an eye-catching debut when just failing to catch Canonbury over the course and distance. She still looked as though the experience would do her good and should be spot-on for this. Casablanca was over a length behind and had every chance so there doesn't appear to be any reason for a form reversal. Tribal Dance is a staying chaser and the remaining older horses don't look much so Richard Hannon's newcomer Tayaar, who cost 200,000gns and is the second foal of a mare who has produced a winner in Hong Kong, could provide the main threat.
