FLOATING VOTER was much shorter in the betting and showed improved form to make a winning handicap debut (in blinkers) at Wolverhampton 10 days ago, doing well to come out on top having come off a very modest pace. He could yet have more to offer and gets the narrow vote to follow up. Fellow last-time-out winner Rhasidat and Berrygate head up the dangers, with Keen Interest also not one to give up on.
