In depth
Verdict
Rosy Morning may prove best of those with experience having finished second at Brighton on her debut though she never threatened the winner. Pinky Promise finished closer at Windsor last time while Kodachrome caught the eye staying on late at the same track on her recent introduction. But a chance is taken on the newcomer VOLITION given she will not need to be anything special to land this on her debut and Sir Michael Stoute's 300,000gns filly gets the nod.
