        Verdict

        Firenze Rosa is a pound better off than when beaten a short-head by STAKE ACCLAIM (NAP) over track and trip two weeks ago but has since run poorly at Bath and Dean Ivory’s veteran might be worth following now he’s got his head back in front given he is still very well treated on his form of a couple of years ago. Kath's Lustre is better on the all-weather and Equally Fast is preferred to The Daley Express of Ron Harris’ pair. Show Me A Sunset makes his debut on Turf but Twilighting is probably capable of better on this surface.
