        Verdict

        Equilibria is a sporting selection in a tricky finale, Icannshift and Meelup appear to be the best alternatives. Gary Moore's four-year-old took on some decent hurdlers over the winter and has returned to flat in unspectacular style. However he may not have acted on the all-weather at Kempton and may have found the trip too far next time at Folkestone. Over this mile and a half, on ground that should suit, he could go close off a lowered mark. Icannshift disappointed here last time but had previously finished an excellent second behind Rose Bien at Folkestone. He has to be considered a live danger on a track that he likes. The pick of the remainder could be Meelup, a recent runner up to Another Con at Folkestone and String Serenade who has winning form here. However Equilibria is now down to a very tempting mark and could be the best option.
