In depth
Verdict
Not a bad maiden and one where, as usual, the market should be watched. However, we will side with the experienced Florida Heart to break her duck, while Almond Willow and Time To Relax are others for the shortlist. The selection can make it a first win in six starts, after progressing gradually for trainer Andrew Balding. Stepped up to this trip last time out at Yarmouth, the filly was just headed close home by Mountcharge in a similar contest and with trip and ground clearly suiting her, plus any greenness surely out of her system she can score. Almond Willow may have finished sixth last time, but that was an improvement on her racecourse debut, and with the step up in trip also likely to suit her, plus the benefit of two outings, she can give the selection plenty to do at a reasonable price. Meanwhile Time To Relax is another useful sort who improved when tried at seven last time and should come on again for both that run and this extra furlong. He can claim a place, but the vote remains with Florida Heart.
