LA BELLE VIE ran into trouble turning for home over track and trip last time but the winner had flown by the time she was in the clear. Heather Main’s filly gets another chance in this. Kitten's Dream was a beaten favourite over a longer trip here recently while Morning Symphony won over 1m4f when last racing at this venue. Blazon has a good strike rate on the all-weather but needs further nowadays so Velvet And Steel is preferred.
