In depth
Verdict
Most of these have been handicapping with Under Curfew edging it at the weights. He went close at Windsor back in August and will be sharper for last month’s outing at Southwell. Moveonup gets a change of headgear and is preferred to Maid Millie while Sing Bertie has plenty to find on these terms. But EQUIPPED has the most scope and having shown improvement at Lingfield on her return to action and first outing after wind surgery, Mick Channon’s filly gets a speculative vote to come out best in the opener.
