Firenze Rosa finished in front of Spanish Star when runner-up over 5f at Windsor recently but has a bit to prove over today’s trip on earlier efforts. Starboy made all for an easy win over 7f here last week and should go well again under a penalty but may also set the race up nicely for LALANIA (NAP). The Yarmouth maiden winner finished third in a higher grade contest on her handicap debut and a bold bid is expected from Start Williams’ filly in this. Wear It Well also faces an easier task having won her maiden here last year and is preferred to Lady Marigold.
