SARLAT has held her form since scoring here in December and went close again when runner-up during the week. She had a bit to spare with third-placed Stanlow on that occasion and can go one better in this. Candesta was well beaten despite finishing second at Southwell last time but Snow Dancer has a shout on earlier running at the track with the selection. The remainder are hard to fancy in their current form.
