Scenic outlook to Bronte Cup sets up Group One assignments
The Ed Walker-trained five-year-old won the Listed Galtres Stakes at the Ebor meeting last season and started this term on a good note when second at Goodwood at the same level.
Stepping up to a mile and six furlongs on her return to York in Group Three company, the bay held off all challengers, including the 6-5 favourite Term Of Endearment, to prevail by a head at 7-2 under Saffie Osborne.

'She's a legend, she was awesome here in August and David (Ward, owner) very sportingly kept her in training,' said Walker, who has his string in tremendous form at the moment.
'She's just a really lovely, game horse and it's a big result. We've always had this race in mind and then we just snuck in the race at Goodwood first, the ground was right and we thought it might bring her forward.
'We couldn't get on grass much this spring, so there's improvement in her still.'
On future plans, Walker said: 'We'll probably come back for the Yorkshire Oaks, she's loves it here and we've absolutely nothing to lose.
'We'll have a crack and then the Prix de Royallieu at the end of the year will be the big shot for her.'

Moore delivers Chantilly masterpiece on Camille Pissarro
A close-up third behind stablemate Henri Matisse in the Poule d'Essai des Poulains last month, the Ballydoyle inmate was sent off the bookmakers' favourite for his second taste of Classic action in France. From a position on the inside rail, his pilot had to be patient once the race started to unfold up the home straight, but Moore found the gaps at the right time to deliver his mount. Andre Fabre's Cualificar kept on for second ahead of John and Thady Gosden's Detain. The winner's stablemate Trinity College finished fourth after being up with pace alongside the Clarehaven-trained Bowmark for the majority of the contest. O'Brien said: 'I'm delighted for everybody and Ryan gave him an incredible ride. 'Christophe (Soumillon) was delighted with him the last day and said to come here with him.' Moore added: 'He was very straightforward, he released into a good rhythm and made ground smoothly from halfway. 'It was a very smart performance from a horse that just seems to be getting better.'
