Verdict
Concrete Mac won a Salisbury maiden under Charlie Bennett in July but was only fourth over this course and distance previously off today's mark. Cincuenta Pasos was only third when a hot favourite at Kempton last month while Evervescent's latest third was over an extra half-mile. Lady Bayside appears to be treading water off her current mark and Game Mascot and Ancient Greece also have questions to answer at present. SWIFT CEDAR has the ground in his favour for the first time in a while and is back on a decent mark. He can take advantage of this slight drop in class.
