Verdict

SILVER ALLIANCE was eased down once his chance had gone at Yarmouth last time. He'd won at the same track before that and this looks no tougher. Auden and Last Minute Lisa are recent winners at Brighton but the former has been beaten since and both step up in class today. Dalgig has slipped down the weights though his best form has been over further while both Play Street and Buzz Law look stuck on their current marks.
