9/4
Has won 3 times this year, including at this C&D at the start of the month. Possibly found race coming too soon when sixth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW, 9/4) 22 days ago. Can bounce back.

Off 8 months (gelded), first run since leaving Richard Hughes when seventh of 10 in handicap (100/1) at Southwell (12.1f) 23 days ago. Up in trip but has enough to prove at present.

Forecasts

Bascinet (9/4), Cedar Cage (7/2), Winklevi (7/2), Social City (13/2), Good Time Ahead (15/2), Leopolds Rock (17/2), Bondi Man (22/1), Fandabidozi (50/1)

Verdict

Having fallen in the weights this year, CEDAR CAGE got back on track when third here 12 days ago and he can build on that effort to take advantage of a further drop in grade. The biggest threat could be Bascinet, who had been in good form prior to a below-par effort last time, while Leopolds Rock also merits consideration with his recent run behind him.

  1. Cedar Cage7/2
  2. Bascinet9/4
  3. Leopolds Rock17/2
