In depth

Verdict

SILVER LACE tends to do just enough and bids for a hat trick after winning by a neck on her last two starts at Kempton. She may have another win in her off a 4lb higher mark and is preferred to recent C&D winner Stylistickhill. The latter beat Charlcot less than a length last month but is worse off at the weights today and Christmas Light makes more appeal dropped in class for his debut on the all-weather. Loyal N Trusted looks no nearer to adding to his only win to date.
