Rated 87, AT A PINCH will prove popular as she finished second to subsequent Listed runner-up Seattle Rock at Newbury last time. She’s weighted to beat Lingfield runner-up Barshaa and should also have the measure of Hot Romance, third over 7f here recently. The remainder with experience make no appeal but the newcomer Purple Ribbon shares ownership with the selection and is worth a second glance.
