      Verdict

      CEDAR HILL (NAP) missed out on a hat-trick when runner-up to the smart Tommy’s Oscar at Kelso but this looks less competitive. Fidelio Vallis is potentially well treated on his best form but has raced just the once since 2021. Sedgefield winner Restandbethankful is upped in class while Cracking Destiny has plenty to find with the selection on earlier running and Dreams Of Home hasn’t raced since April, though has returned to a winning mark.
