Verdict
There is little between the winner Sarlat and third-placed Thrtypointstothree on last week's running here. Stanlow was back in fourth but is not out of this either on today's revised terms. Sixties Queen is getting closer as she slips down the weights but just the one win in 30 starts does not boost confidence and MILLY'S SECRET is preferred. She, too, has tumbled down the handicap and can race off the same mark as when staying on for third over a shorter trip at the track last time.
