I'M SWEET ON FLORA

FLYING filly FLORA OF BERMUDA (3.40) is ready to flower in the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes.

- STEVE JONES with FOUR top tips

She must have walked under a ladder or smashed a mirror at some point last season, as she enjoyed some desperate luck in a trio of Group 1 contests for trainer Andrew Balding (below).

Her close third in the British Champions Sprint over today's course and distance last October came despite being caught out wide. It does show she has the ability to win a race like this when things drop her way.

She didn't get the clearest of passages when beaten a neck by Inisherin in the Group 2 Duke Of York Stakes on her return to action.
