Verdict

LEXINGTON KNIGHT came off second best in a scrap to the line over track and trip last time. He finished in front of Cedar Cage on that occasion and the latter went on to land an apprentices’ race over 1m6f here last week and escapes a penalty. Johnny Boom remains 7lb higher than when scoring at the track in February while Wolf Of Oxshott has switched yards since winning over 1m2f at Newcastle in October.
