Equiano Springs carried over his good form on the all-weather to Thirsk last time when beaten only a neck with Galloway Hills and Athollblair Boy behind. He should be in the mix again and Wrenthorpe can also figure having finished in front of Black Isle Boy, Mostahel, Kenny The Captain and Kodiline when also runner-up at Thirsk. Lucky Beggar is yet another arriving from Thirsk but has been raised 9lb for a convincing win and AIRSHOW is preferred. Placed in a higher grade sprint over 5f at Beverley on his debut for Mick Appleby, he won twice over today’s longer trip last year and can go close in this off his current mark.
