        Verdict

        FLORAL BOUQUET made all and easily held off a useful maiden at Ludlow earlier this month. On that evidence, she might have too much for Sedgefield scorer Birch Vale, though Donald McCain’s mare also still has scope. Chouquette may do better now going hurdling, though was behind Blue Baton in a Musselburgh bumper in February. Koala Keel has shown little so far over timber.
