Verdict
Equate is penalised for winning at Beverley back in September under Graham Lee but the latter sticks with stablemate SIR TITUS, who placed over 6f here last month when finishing in front of a subsequent winner. That looks stronger form than Kinderdijk’s latest effort Wolverhampton and Bryan Smart’s charge gets the nod. Silk Tie and Don't Tell Dj have yet to threaten while Sound Reason has been gelded since debuting over track and trip last summer.
