Verdict

A tight-knit hanicap in which SARVI edges the vote given she arrives in very good order and can race off a 2 lb lower mark than when fifth here a fortnight ago. Durragh can have a big say if building on her recent Leicester fifth after a break, with handicap-debutante Walkonby in the mix too.
