Verdict

Andrasta and Mandalay King both come here in good form however with the ground likely to be testing the vote goes to WHITEOAK LADY. John Spearing's filly has been in good form this season on soft ground and very rarely runs a bad race. She was well held last time at Yarmouth but was racing under a penalty and off a revised mark of 72 today she should go close. Tadalavil is closely matched with the selection and under revised weights should be a big threat. Mandalay King has looked a very progressive individual this year and has claims despite this career-high mark, whilst Andrasta can be hit and miss but has been holding her form well recently. La Chicaluna has a tough task off top weight, whilst Capone is a course and distance winner so should be a danger to Al. Mayoman hasn't gone on since a pleasing debut win but this longer trip could sui, so whilst Dark Tata is one to keep an eye on in the betting after a period off, we are happy to return to Whiteoak Lady as the selection.
