Verdict
Cheat The Cheater could only manage fourth last time after a further rise in the weights. He beat Glendermot over track and trip before that but the latter is weighted to finish closer this time. Some Finish failed in his bid for a hat-trick of wins at Leicester but that may have come too soon after his previous success and a chance is taken on MIDNIGHT JADE in this. She made a winning start over fences when successful at Southwell in February and there should be more to come from her.
