The 9-2 winner, third at Catterick just three days earlier, was equipped with a first-time visor as she saw off top-weight Tropical Beat by two and a half lengths.

David Barron-trained juvenile Viva Verglas completed a hat-trick under Graham Gibbons when beating Back Lane by two and three-quarter lengths in the conditions race.
