FLORIA TOSCA had a little in hand when beating Miss M in a three-runner race at Bath earlier this month. She’s been raised a further 5lb but has every chance of completing the hat-trick with Nassya now blinkered after only managing third off this mark at Windsor. Rare appears to have gone backwards since finishing second at Lingfield in July but Lightening Dance is worth another try over this longer trip and makes more appeal than Bossiney Bay, well beaten at Sandown after winning over 1m2f at Leicester.
