Verdict
Pink Diva never threatened to get involved on her reappearance over 1m4f at York. Better is expected from her back in distance, while Lucy Limelites and Fennica failed to convince on their first starts over today's trip though they were both making their seasonal debuts. Apache Glory disappointed on her turf debut last time after landing a double on the Polytrack, but Merton Lady and Alareen have scope for improvement. GEBLAH separated a couple of previous winners when runner-up in a conditions event at Newcastle recently and David Simcocks' filly gets the vote to go one better here.
