Whiteoak Lady, Title Role and River Ardeche are three against the field in this maiden and the confident vote is given to Whiteoak Lady. The selection was a fair fourth on her debut behind Shaker. She is sure to have learnt from the experience and given nominal improvement she will be hard to beat. Title Role rates the main danger as he a well-bred colt by Mark Of Esteem. He hails from a yard that can ready a newcomer and he will not need to be anything special to take a hand in the finish. River Ardeche is another well-bred sort being by Elnadim but his stable are not known for first time out winners and he is opposed on that basis. Of the remainder, Gala Casino Star is another newcomer worth a cautionary look in the market, but for the winner we return to Whiteoak Lady.
