Only a neck separated Pied Piper and Local Law over this trip at Chelmsford but neither was a match for an easy winner, though they appear to have the measure of Going Gone on collateral form. ZINC WHITE (NAP) won easily upped in trip at Wetherby nine days ago and will be 8lb higher in the weights from next week so it makes sense to run him under a penalty in this. Silver Shade makes his Turf debut having won twice on the all-weather but should stay this trip.
