Verdict
LADY FLORENCE just about sets the standard although support for Cashmere Ted or Satindra would be a worry for her supporters. Lady Florence made the most of the drop in grade from her debut to play the bridesmaid in a Wetherby seller, form which gives her live claims here. It's a slight concern that she weakened close home there but she's sufficient stamina in her pedigree to believe that she'll see out the trip on this stiff track. Cashmere Ted showed some promise in a bumper on debut but failed to build on that next time. He starts off at a lowly level in a first time visor and represents a shrewd yard; it will be interesting to see what the market makes of his chances. Satindra's debut came over course and distance in this grade and he did enough to think that he could be a factor here if building on that performance. The market may also prove useful in respect to his chances and those of the field given that all are lightly raced but Lady Florence has obvious claims and will do for us at present.
