        Verdict

        Swissal remains 3lb higher than when winning last year’s renewal and has switched yards since. Velvet Vista bids for a hat-trick burdened with a double penalty and faces stiffer opposition today, including the top weight PRINCESSE ANIMALE (NAP). The latter takes a further drop down in class after finding only one too good at Lingfield and Pat Phelan’s filly looks the one to side with. Suzi's Connoisseur has been in better form over 6f at Wolverhampton lately but the veteran Baltic Prince makes more appeal on a recent second over today’s trip at Kempton.
