SILVER NIGHTFALL showed further progress when scoring here on her first start over today’s trip. There looks to be more to come and she makes more appeal than Open Champion, who posted a much better effort at the track last month in a first-time visor. Stage Show looks no nearer winning and drops further down the weights but Havanazam should be sharper for a recent comeback run with cheekpieces applied today.
