Goodwood assignment pencilled in for Scenic
The duo could clash again in the Yorkshire equivalent on the Knavesmire next month, but first Scenic will head to the Sussex Downs on August 2, as she embarks on what could be the final stages of her career.
'I was thrilled with her and very proud of her, it was a huge run in new ownership,' said Walker.
'She heads to the Lillie Langtry now. I was devastated she was beaten, but Richard Brown (Wathnan's racing adviser) was delighted as it means she won't have a penalty at Goodwood.
'She's a real star and a yard favourite. She's helped fly the flag for us for a few years and has been seriously consistent since winning the Galtres Stakes at York, it was almost like that was a turning point in her career. I don't know why, but since then has barely put a foot wrong and if anything is improving.
'I'm excited about her and the three races for her really are the Lillie Langtry, Yorkshire Oaks and Prix de Royallieu. I imagine they will be the last three runs of her career, she's a star.'

Waardah far from certain to go to York
The three-year-old daughter of Postponed stepped up to a mile and six furlongs for the first time with ease as she held off Danielle to secure the Lillie Langtry at Goodwood last week. That success put her in the conversation for the Group One contest during the Ebor Festival at York, but the lack of cut in the ground has cast doubt over Waardah's participation. However, the Farncombe Down trainer is unfazed at a potential three-month wait for her return at Ascot, if she does not get her preferred conditions. 'She's come out Goodwood well,' Burrows said. 'She's in the Yorkshire Oaks, that might come a bit quick to be honest and looking at the weather she does like to get her toe in a little bit. 'There's no significant rain anywhere through until the end of next week and I think the Fillies & Mares at Ascot is tailormade for her with near enough guaranteed soft ground, so I'll probably work my way back from that. 'If she's having to go straight there, then so be it. If we can get another one into her then great, that's a bonus.'

Waardah far from certain to go to York
Waardah looks set to bypass the Yorkshire Oaks on the Knavesmire and head straight to Qipco British Champions Day should the drying weather continue for Owen Burrows' star filly.
