Verdict

VIOLA PARK has been racing over further of late including when staying on over 7f on the AW at Wolverhampton earlier this week. The blinkers worn on that occasion are retained here and he can gain a third career success by taking this 15 runner contest. The first time blinkered Lightoller can confirm recent Windsor running with Beach Dancer by getting the better of that rival in the race for second while Charlie Victor and Spare Parts are others to take note of here.
