Toshi is proving expensive to follow but should at long last be able to reward his supporters by getting his head in front, with Floral Print and Yameell the pair we fear the most. The selection has finished second on each of his last three starts but he is not ungenuine and he has simply come up against some decent types. This looks his weakest assignment and we are prepared to give him another chance to get the losses back for his supporters. Floral Print has been a little disappointing on her last two starts but she is stepped-up in trip here which should help and she should be the one to profit if our selection fails to fire. Yameell might be suited by this slightly easier ground after disappointing on a faster surface last time and being from a top yard there should be more to come from him. Poirot made a pleasing debut but will need to improve on that to get competitive here and for the winner we return to Toshi.
