Verdict
The penalised Pink Satin returns to her winning trip but Rawaasi may improve past her having placed at Kempton on her debut. Lokana is another likely improver while Apeeling is related to several winners and represents last year’s winning yard. But another newcomer in PANAREA is preferred as she can include the high-class juvenile Pinatubo among her winning relatives and the Godolphin filly gets the vote to make a winning start.
