      Verdict

      Cepage got taken off his feet behind Gino’s Trail at Sandown two weeks ago but was only beaten half-a-length off this mark at Ascot before that so shouldn’t be far away. War Sound possibly didn’t stay 2m5f last time but is 0-5 over fences having not really threatened so far. BEAU BAY got back to winning ways on heavy going at Uttoxeter last week having needed the run when favourite the time before at Sedgefield. He can score again, though Sea Wall is also interesting back over fences as he won here over hurdles when only 3lb lower. Dream Bolt has a good strike-rate and will find this easier than the Grade 3 he contested last month.
