Mark Johnston took this contest in 2017 with La Vie En Rose, and having been responsible for a few of these horses as juveniles will no doubt be expecting a good run from his recent Musselburgh scorer Poetic Steps. However, she doesn't look half as strong as the improving pair Braemar and NEVERBEEN TO PARIS. The selection was a decisive winner at Beverley last week (1m2f), and turned out quickly under a 6lb penalty should be capable of following up.
