Verdict

CEDAR CAGE showed some improvement for a tumble down the weights when beaten only a length over a shorter trip here. He gets the vote off his current mark. Bascinet won over course and distance before well beaten over 2m and had the measure of Winklevi at Chelmsford back in January. The latter’s form has taken a dip subsequently while Leopolds Rock never figured back on the Flat last time but recent hurdles winner Good Time Ahead is on a winning mark back under this code.
