CEDAR CAGE was having his first outing since October when third over course and distance with Ritchie Valens back in fifth. Another bold bid looks likely in this but both El Conquistador and Engrave came up short when bidding for hat-tricks on their latest starts and return to the all-weather. Luna Wish was unsuited by the soft going at Ascot last time but won over track and trip before that and can make her presence felt again.
