15:22 Ascot

A 4lb higher mark shouldn’t be enough to anchor FLORIDA and he is a confident bet to follow up that York win. He moved into that race strongly and then pulled out plenty when challenged late. The form has been nicely franked already with the third Real Gain winning impressively by over 5 lengths next time out at Newmarket and even the sixth (and last) Catch The Paddy scoring next time out.

This test over the straight mile should suit and he looks the value play. Hickory is clearly a talented horse who could be ahead of his mark but he doesn’t make life easy for the jockey and even with Buick up is short enough. Jeff Koons and Daysofourlives both have potential and are feared as well.
