Verdict

ESPONA BAY shaped with abundant promise when a strong-finishing second at Chelmsford and the step back up to 7f looks ideal for this improving sort. Black Endeavour remains competitive despite running from a tougher mark following his Nottingham success, while the consistent Parole Officer makes his handicap debut after four consecutive placed efforts.
