In depth

Verdict

FLORIA TOSCA was partnered by an apprentice when setting the pace and beaten a length by Point In Time at Newmarket. She’s worse off with the latter on today’s terms but Luca Cumani’s filly can expect others to make the running today with the likes of The Last Debutante and Gravina in the field and is taken to come out best under Jamie Spencer. Gravina made all to win at Newmarket last month but has been beaten since while Moonlight Silver is upped in class and Dependable steps up in trip for her handicap debut.
