        Verdict

        Floridita should improve upon her debut and connections will be keen to get a win out of her, but they may have to wait because in FOREST RUNNER she meets a rival who should win this well. He returned from a lengthy absence to take a good second in what appeared a better race than this at Newmarket and, with six lengths back to the third, looks a winner-in-waiting. A spot of rain would help, but either way this expensive purchase looks the one to side with. Floridita was sent off at odds-on for her debut but disappointed however we do expect more from her, while Taqleed is another representing top connections who is bred to improve for a winter. Tasza should appreciate stepping back up in trip but in truth she looks limited, likewise Swiftly Done will do better returning to a mile but he's got questions to answer following a poor second try at Thirsk.
