Zitenka has to give weight to all rivals but seems in the handicapper's grip, whilst Guns and Butter finds winning very difficult. James Ewart runs two, of which Raining Horse remains of interest, having been well supported despite his form figures when falling early at Wetherby recently. Therefore, the choice is MORE EQUITY who had displayed a pleasingly progressive profile this season before disappointing last time. However, she scored decisively over this track on his penultimate outing and a repeat would see her go close. Copper's Gold has claims if forgiven a poor effort last time too.
