In depth

Verdict

Firenze Rosa only weakened close home over 6f here last week so dropping back a furlong should help. Haveoneyerself found only one too good off this mark at Brighton in September and Big Time Maybe can race off a 7lb lower mark back on Turf. Cieran Fallon was seen to good effect on GHEPARDO at Kempton 12 days ago and his 3lb claim can help Patrick Chamings’ mare notch a quick double, even though George Thomas is back on a winning mark.
