Visions Of Johanna posted his best effort for a while when second at Southwell on Tuesday and he can figure once again, while Mayan Flight won in this grade at Kempton in January but has to be forgiven a disappointing effort over C&D last time. Winning hurdler ISHISMART is lightly-raced on the Flat given her age and she had Delagoa Bay and Yossi behind when third over track and trip a fortnight ago. Haley Turner takes over from an apprentice for this and Reg Hollinshead's mare may well find a bit more improvement
