In depth
Verdict
White Park Bay may prove best in a low-grade contest while others to consider include Christina Sanchez and Gemini Lady along with Rockerfella Lad. The selection has proved a model of consistency of late with a string of placed efforts both on turf and the all-weather and may now be ready to strike. John Quinn's charge put up a fine effort when just touched off over this trip at Wolverhampton last time and this unexposed sort looks capable of further progress so could be well treated at present. Christina Sanchez was well below her best last time but the fitting of a first-time visor and the step up in trip could bring significant improvement while Gemini Lady has dropped to a winning mark and showed her time was near when just touched off in a similar event at Warwick earlier in the month. Rockerfella Lad comes here in good heart following a recent Thirsk selling win but that was a poor event and his 6lb penalty will make life tough so White Park Bay looks the answer.
