Race preview
PINOT ROUGE was the surprise winner of a mares-only Listed race at Doncaster on her penultimate start, but went about the task in a pleasing manner. Thrown in at the deep end in the Sefton at Aintree subsequently, she didn't disgrace herself and is readily forwarded as the one to be with here. Huntingdon winner Magical Hill rates the chief danger, although Sea God won between the flags before landing a Carlisle bumper and is noteworthy on his hurdling debut for a new yard.
