Miss Merenda is bound to be popular following her debut second to Pay Attention last month but Don Cantillon's filly has disappointed back on the flat since and preference is for Floreana, who gets the vote over the other penalised winner in the field A Double Ewe Bee. The last mentioned made a winning start to her career when landing a novices' selling event at Ludlow last month but struggled in a handicap at Folkestone subsequently. This is more her level and Bill Turner's filly as to be respected. Alfhala has been highly tried so far and this represents a drop in class for the daughter of Acatenango. Ginger McCain's Reem Two would need to improve on her debut form to trouble the best of these but is entitled to do so, while Be Wise Girl was well held in the mud at Uttoxeter last time. The vote then goes to Floreana, a German bred filly who has winning form over hurdles in Italy and would not need to be out of the ordinary to make a winning start to her career with Charlie Mann.
