Verdict
Invincible Molly has improved with every run and won nicely on ground with some give at York. Validated has been showing very good speed over longer trips while Carlisle debut winner Catton Lady was unlucky in-running here last month. Havana Rose scored over this trip at Carlisle then found 5f too sharp at Redcar but in a tricky race SALAMANCA LAD, who showed much improved form to land a Thirsk nursery, is taken to defy a 4lb rise.
