        Verdict

        LIGHT SPEED is upped a grade off a 7lb higher mark after landing a hat-trick but is improving with every start and may not have finished winning yet. Last year’s winner Civil Law had King's Code back in fourth when scoring again here last month while Felix won this back in 2019 but is not the force of old and hasn’t won since 2021. Jilly Cooper and Pearl Eye are upped in trip.
