Verdict
Equality won easily at Haydock last week but is 10lb higher as a consequence while Whenthedealinsdone was raised the same amount for winning over track and trip and was subsequently well beaten at Doncaster. KING OF STARS (NAP) just missed out in a tough sprint at York when last competing in a handicap and Mick Appleby’s grey gets another chance representing last year’s winning yard. Tarhib and Dream Composer were both placed last time but are upped in class for this but Tardis should be sharper for a belated comeback at Ayr
