        In depth

        Verdict

        The 4:20 sees Henry Cecil saddle his first runner of the season Floreeda, a half-sister to Oaks winner Love Divine, who shaped well when third in a back-end Newmarket maiden. If fit enough she can play a major part, but equally fancied will be Sir Michael Stoute's filly Halawanda who made her more fancied stablemate Waldmark pull out all the stops on her debut at Kempton last September. Coming from the back of the pack, she really picked up at the finish of that seven furlongs and will relish the trip here. Nofa's Magic and Sicily should be noted on their racecourse bows, while Tango Cat made her debut in a Group 3 at the Curragh for Aidan O'Brien and has since been switched to Willie Jarvis for whom she will no doubt make her mark in time.
