Sir Henry Cecil demonstrated his expert placing and preparation of a little-known filly for the second day in a row at Newmarket with Tickled Pink (8-1) in the Connaught Access Flooring Abernant Stakes.
Fresh from Hot Snap's victory in the Nell Gwyn, the grey daughter of top-class sprinter Cassandra Go looks to have inherited plenty of speed as she made all the running to collect by two lengths.
Tickled Pink previously had only a Yarmouth maiden to her name but is now a Group Three star.

Flemenstar has been ruled out of the Boylesports.com Champion Chase at the Punchestown on Tuesday after connections decided to give the eight-year-old a wind operation.
Peter Casey's gelding looked set to take the season by storm after winning his first two starts of the campaign in impressive fashion, but things have not gone to plan since.
Narrowly beaten in the Lexus Chase and Hennessy Gold Cup, he missed the Cheltenham Festival after it was discovered he was suffering from a lung infection and although he returned to action at Aintree, he appeared well below-par in finishing a distant third in the Melling Chase behind Sprinter Sacre.
