In depth

Verdict

Soller Bay was no match for an easy winner at Redcar on Wednesday and is now 0-11. Esticky End is 5lb worse off than when beating Lucy Rules in a seller here nine days ago but should confirm the form and this isn’t much better. Tampa may do better now handicapping but a similar comment applies to STAR SHAKEERA, who gets the vote.
