Martlet is the sole UK representative and John Gosden's filly has strong claims with any further improvement after winning a Listed contest at York. But CANDARLIYA (NAP) is also improving at a rate of knots and was only denied a five-timer by an imperious Treve in last month's Prix Vermeille over track and trip. She gets the vote with Listed winner Scalambra sporting the Aga Khan's second colours. Lady Of Kyushu found the selection too good at Deauville earlier while the selection's stablemate Parade Music has plenty to find along with the remainder.
