Verdict

A winner on her only start in points, FLORENCETHEMACHINE produced a very promising first effort in this sphere when runner-up in a mares' novice at Chepstow 4 weeks ago and, with improvement expected, she earns the vote to go one place better. Between Waters on hurdles debut and Lilting Verse are others to consider, with Girls In Skirts also worthy of note.

  1. FLORENCETHEMACHINE (IRE)
