In depth

Verdict

Finesse was disappointing when stepped up in grade last time. The mile trip may have had more to do with it, however, as she'd scored over course and distance before that and is only 3lb higher today. AL MANAAL also found a mile beyond her in slow going at Newcastle recently but she gets another chance in this given the Godolphin filly had romped home by eight lengths on fast ground at Brighton earlier. Icon Dance never threatened on her handicap debut so Floating Along makes more appeal on her earlier maiden win at Newbury.
