    Verdict

    Although Lady Florence is in good form and loves it here we will take her on with SULARNO, who looks to have been found a winning opportunity by trainer Jeff Pearce. The Newmarket handler has his string in good shape and Sularno may well be another winner for him. All three of his previous career victories have come on artificial surfaces, two of those being on the slowest of them at Southwell, so there is hope that he will handle this softer ground. This is his optimum trip and he has twice won from higher marks than this, so we will take a chance that he can come good again in only his seventh turf outing. Lady Florence won back-to-back races over course and distance in recent weeks, both on firm ground. It is probably safe to put a line through her Polytrack run last time now that she returns here, and she does also act with some cut, so she is highly respected but does need a career best to win again. Noverre To Hide is of interest in first-time headgear and although he has largely been kept to sprint trips he is well worth another try over this distance, and pedigree suggests that he will be effective. Motor Home has still to prove he gets this trip, especially on slower ground, while Cognac Boy might just be found wanting in this more competitive contest than the seller in which he finished behind Lady Florence. Mick Is Back acts well here and is weighted to be thereabouts once again, while Gracechurch is back on a good mark is as effective over this shorter trip. Sularno is the suggestion here
