Verdict

Having been an easy winner over C&D last month, PINAFORE was unable to reproduce that effort dropped to the minimum trip at York 8 days later, but she's been freshened up for this and looks sure to go close back up in distance. The main danger may emerge from Billyjoh, who shaped encouragingly taking on his elders for the first time and is still not quite the finished article. Northern Spirit and Havana Rum can do battle for third spot.
