In depth

Verdict

Florenza is the only course and distance winner and arrives on a 7lb lower mark than when scoring at Doncaster in April. Harvest Day is consistent at this level and is well enough treated to get into contention while Lady Lizzy should be losing her maiden tag soon judging on her good run at Carlisle. Love Explodes did a bit better at Bath last time and has scope to progress as does Sloane Garden, who makes her handicap debut. IDEAL CANDY is hardly consistent but set a strong gallop over 1m2f at Beverley and was only headed close home so Gemma Tutty may be able to coax her home this time.
