Rosita Bay was an impressive winner in her only race to date and can land this modest looking bumper from Bright Spirit and Butler Services. Olver Sherwood's filly gained a very tidy success at Market Rasen in April, moving through at the three furlong pole before finishing five lengths clear of Amalfi Storm. The form hasn't worked out particularly well, but the manor of victory suggests there is much more to come. Bright Spirit showed promise in two races last season and has top be respected from this top yard. The pick of the newcomers could be the Jonjo O'Neill trained Butler Services, who is a half brother to numerous winners in this sphere and over hurdles. Khadija and Mo Chailin are two others to keep an eye on in the betting market, but Rosita Bay has the proven form and gets the verdict.
