Floreeda in interesting on her handicap debut, along with Yalla Lara, for whom the booking of Michael Hills catches the eye. Those two plus the in-form Figura are others who look likely to figure, but the vote goes to the Page Nouvelle, who would have gone close at Beverly last week had she anything like a clear run. Mark Brisbourne's mare has gone a long time without wining, but as she showed at the Yorkshire track, she still retains some ability. Figura has been in cracking form on the All-Weather and can run here off a 5lb lower mark than her sand rating, while it is unusual for Henry Cecil to run one at this level. His Floreeda has shown enough to suggest she can pay her way and the Handicapper looks to have taken a bit of a chance with this half-sister to Oaks winner Love Divine.
