In depth
Verdict
A weak maiden that looks there for the taking if Alexander Anapolis runs anywhere near her official rating and this newcomer to Neville Callaghan's yard is fancied to kick-start her British career in good style. However, she was on the downgrade when running for Kevin Prenergast in Ireland and may not be one for a maximum stakes play. White Park Bay put in a good effort at Southwell last time and shines as the biggest danger out of a fairly moderate bunch; although Exit To Heaven hails from a yard that have a solid record when placing horses on the all weather and an each way move could be significant. However, Alexander Anapolis has to under perform to fail this evening and she is given the nod in a tricky little affair.
