Mukha Magic returns to the Fibresand for the first time since scoring here in March but is 9lb higher. Blowing Dixie may put a couple of poor recent efforts behind him having won four of only six previous starts at this venue while Durrell, Charlie Arthur and Bollin Joan all found one too good on their respective latest starts with the latter preferred on her all-weather debut. But CEDAR CAGE has placed over 1m3f since scoring easily over 7f here last year and Sir Mark Prescott’s charge is taken to return to winning ways back on this surface with plenty of scope for further progress.
