KATIE GALE continued her good progress with another easy win at Southwell last week. A winner over today's trip at Kempton in the past, she can shrug off a penalty and go in again. Silver Mountain is another on the up and his defeat of Westerly over 1m5f here last time gives him the beating of recent winner Guards Chapel, who in turn just got the better of Takeitfromalady over course and distance last time. Shalambar was successful over 1m4f at Kempton in January but has also won over 2m before and can figure.
