In depth
Verdict
Sil Ver Klass is best watched after showing little on his first run for a new yard here as he was well behind CEDAR HILL and Gold Des Bois. The latter will strip fitter today but Sandy Thomson’s course specialist can confirm the form and go one better. Bollingerandkrug is also a course and distance winner but lacks a recent run while Pay The Piper didn’t get far at Wetherby 10 days ago.
