Verdict

VISION DU PUY was revived all of a sudden when regaining the winning thread at Stratford (2m) recently, doing well to get up having been set a lot to do rounding the home turn. A low-mileage mare she may have even more to offer and gets the nod to follow up. Impressive Fakenham-scorer Xcitations and Shantou Express head the dangers, ahead of Chti Balko who may revive for a return to this venue.
