Verdict
FIRENZE ROSA arrives on the back of a recent win over 6f at Lingfield having been caught on the line over track and trip before that. She looks worth sticking with despite a 4lb penalty. Joy Choi wasn’t far behind the selection here and can figure again while Atty's Edge had the measure of both Tilia Cordata and Coronation Cottage when runner-up at Bath and is another to consider.
