LALANIA has been rejuvenated by a return to the all-weather and won by a wide-margin at Lingfield last month beating a subsequent winner in the process. A hike in the weights may not be enough to anchor her in her current form and she gets the vote. Siena Mia opened her account with a victory over 7f at Newcastle a week ago and is penalised 5lb but Dubai Elegance is preferred having finished in front of Irene May at Kempton when just missing out on a hat-trick and racing off the same mark here. Kath's Lustre is usually in the mix and may prove best of the remainder.
