Verdict

The hat-trick beckons for Tim Vaughan's SILVER IN DISGUISE, who overcame a 15 lb rise in the weights to remain unbeaten over fences and in handicaps at Chepstow just over a fortnight ago. This step up to 3m looks sure to suit and he could be tough to stop in his current mood. Cash To Ash is feared most if able to back up his recent second at Wetherby, ahead of Caventara.
