Verdict
THE TWELVE PINS was beaten a neck in a bumper here a year ago, a race that has worked out well. Though unraced subsequently, that's never a problem for one from her yard. Royal Hollow was beaten over eight lengths by Mullins' Vadsa Queen at Tramore in June but the winner looked very smart. Faux Fur has been narrowly beaten the last twice and Fortunate Lighting has improved with every run but Pinky looks the main threat. She attempted to make all at Down Royal in June and only weakened in the closing stages so should have come on plenty for the run.
