Matthew Smith wastes no time bringing out Irish Poseidon quickly under a penalty after the German import completed a double here on Friday where he won with a bit in hand though this looks a slightly tougher race. The three-year-old Crescent Lake went up 9lb for a convincing victory last month and though unable to overcome the extra a fortnight ago he's probably still on the upgrade. Storm Steps is another who couldn't quite defy a rise in the weights after a course and distance double though he's another with more to offer but it's about time SIENNA LADY was winning. From a yard in superb form, she's been keeping on strongly over shorter and should be ideally suited by stepping up.
