Steadied at the start, she was stone last at halfway but made progress under pressure past the three-pole before making rapid headway in pursuit of leader Toy Top. After momentarily looking to flatten out, she picked up once again inside the final half furlong to edge out that rival.
Toy Top represented a stable in decent nick at present and she made a bold bid to go one better than at Catterick recently. She clearly come on for that outing - her first since October - but remains winless after ten starts now and needs to pull out more to find that elusive first success.
In Fashion threatened at the furlong pole but didn't possess the turn of foot to keep tabs on the front two.
Devine Dancer was disappointing. She looked pretty well treated off a mark of 70 for her handicap debut but weakened tamely and wasn't given a hard time when it was clear she was out of contention. She is clearly better than this run implies and may not be one to write off just yet.
