Floresco has form in slightly better company but was a bit disappointing at Exeter last month. Statistical was chasing in Ireland when last seen and is having his first run for Emma Lavelle. Daylami Kirk has also changed stables and is returning from a break, as is Delirious Love. Nifty At Fifty and Zephyros Bleu could go well at a price but NACHI FALLS is ridiculously well handicapped and probably didn’t enjoy a drop back to 2m at Kempton in November having showed a glimmer of hope over this course and distance earlier.
