Verdict

Not a strong race on paper and Park City gets the TEAMtalk vote in an uninspiring heat. The Philip Hobbs-trained colt was in the process of running a big race on his hurdling bow at Stratford earlier in the month before being brought down and, with the experience under his belt, he sets a fair standard and should prove hard to beat. David Cosgrove has booked Tony McCoy for Palm Beach in a bid to follow up the yard's victory in the race twelve months ago but the three-year-old has shown nothing in maidens on the Flat and returns from a 14-week absence so looks worth opposing but Dizzy Tart has shaped with ability on both starts over timber to date and has place claims while Daneswood comes here having landed a Yarmouth seller last time and rates a big danger if adapting to hurdling.
