A cracking renewal in which CEPAGE is fancied to make it third time lucky after fine efforts to reach the frame in the past two renewals. Venetia Williams' admirable C&D winner goes very well fresh too so can gain a deserved victory and fend off Dan Skelton's well-weighted Romain de Senam and last month's Paddy Power Gold Cup 1-3 Coole Cody and Al Dancer.
