“Handy in the pack - made ground over 3f out - close to the pacesetters - came under a drive to move to the head of affairs over 1f out - driven out and kept finding more to pull well clear in the final 110yds”

Racing Post verdict
Third-partyRock N Roll Pinkie is our selection and tops our figures for this Class 4 over 16f at York, with the trip and today's ground already proven. Cruden, who has been freakishly consistent without quite winning, looks the biggest danger, while Secret Force and Valley Of Flowers also arrive in form. It's a competitive field of 11 and confidence is only low, but the selection's figures give her the nod.
