In depth
Verdict
Beyond Equal has won five times over 6f but this is only his second start over the minimum trip as he drops back down in class. ROSE HIP also faced a tougher task when scoring over 5f at Windsor recently and a 4lb rise may not be enough to anchor her in this. Newyorkstateofmind has plenty to find with the selection on latest running but both Kool Moe Dee and Coronation Cottage won at Bath last year whereas Lomu last won on Turf back in 2018.
