Sante ended last year with a convincing maiden win at Chepstow. But that was back in August and FLORENZA looks a safer proposition in this. She was runner-up at York last month when both Carolinae and Shypen were well beaten and Chris Fairhurst’s filly is taken to go one better. Fourth Way won a maiden for Roger Varian back in 2015 and is preferred to Yeah Baby Yeah on her first start for a new yard.
