The handicapper has seen fit to raise James Fanshawe's Lady Georgina by 3lbs for her narrow win in a classified stakes race at Goodwood recently and that may be enough to stop her from following up in a race where In The Pink gets the vote over And Toto Too. The last mentioned is the mount of Kieren Fallon, who has a good record when partnering the David Evans-trained filly. However, In The Pink looked a shade unlucky at Doncaster last time and is hard to oppose. Mick Channon's filly was heavily backed to take an 18-runner contest over this trip at Town Moor following a convincing win at Goodwood previously but met trouble at the furlong marker that ultimately cost her the chance of victory. Set to go up 5lbs in future handicaps, In The Pink looks worth a bet to make amends for her costly failure last time. Top weight Search Mission would be interesting on her reappearance, if fit enough, now that the stable of Amanda Perrett is back in form. David Loder's Cara Bella and John Spearing's Pintle are both unexposed and have to be respected but In The Pink has an obvious chance and is hard to oppose.
