Mark Johnston supplements Threading for the Lowther at York while Enable heads the field for the Yorkshire Oaks
Johnston had stated earlier this week that Nyaleti was "odds-on" to skip the Prix Morny but he has supplemented Threading for the Lowther so will split his fillies up
TRAINER Mark Johnston has changed his mind and is set to run Nyaleti in Sunday's Prix Morny after supplementing Threading for the Lowther at York.
Johnston was earlier quoted as saying Nyaleti was "odds-on" to skip the Prix Morny.
"We've supplemented Threading for the Lowther, so she goes there instead of Nyaleti," Johnston told Press Association Sport.
"She was obviously very impressive first time.
"Unfortunately she wasn't in the Lowther in the first place but we think she's up to it."
As expected, Happy Like A Fool has been added to the Lowther field by American trainer Wesley Ward.
She was partnered by Frankie Dettori in a racecourse spin at York on Friday morning with the jockey describing her as being "very speedy" and "in good form".
