PINATUBO landed the first race of the Investec Derby Festival when justifying even-money favouritism in the £60,000 Investec Woodcote EBF Conditions Race.

Trained by Charlie Appleby and ridden by James Doyle, the two-year-old son of Shamardal stumbled slightly out of the stalls and raced in last in the six-furlong contest as the Mark Johnston-trained Misty Grey (11/4) set a stern gallop under Franny Norton.
