VIVIONN (NAP) never stopped improving last year and ended up finishing second to Search For A Song in the Galtres Stakes at York when Bella Vita was almost six lengths away in fifth. In receipt of 3lb, she can upset likely favourite Fanny Logan as John Gosden’s filly has done all of her winning over shorter trips and has appeared not to stay when tried beyond an extended 1m2f in the past. Manuela De Vega was frustrating to follow last season, finishing second on four occasions. However, she was only beaten a neck in a German Group 1 on her final start and would have every chance on that form.
