SILENT FLAME won comfortably at Salisbury with blinkers reapplied and ran respectably at this C&D 11 days ago. Still well treated on best form, she's taken to return to winning ways. Waistcoat has been consistently reliable, doing best of those held up at Newmarket recently, while Pure Artistry ran creditably when second over C&D and remains on a workable mark.
