Verdict
CABOT CLIFFS completed a Warwick double and took his chance in the Fred Winter at Cheltenham and wasn't disgraced in mid-division. He has to concede 12lb to Fakenham winner Olympic Conqueror but looks good enough to do so. Grisbi De Berce has a bit to find with the principals but should make progress as should Benito from a moderate debut at Kelso. Winning point-to-pointer My Bobby Dazzler looks best of the remainder though is likely to find the trip on the short side in fast conditions.
