PONIENTE took a massive step forward under a change of tactics when going in at Fontwell and is fancied to defy a hefty rise in the weights now connections look to have found the key to this well-related mare. Recent Warwick scorer Juniper is feared most, although Wheesht is weighted to have a say if back to her best and chasing-newcomer Rose Ohara isn't without interest either.
