In depth
Verdict
Equiami went close at Lingfield on his reappearance and first start gelded and steps up in trip for this. But H KEY LAILS (NAP) has improved for going handicapping and won at Wolverhampton last time with a subsequent winner back in third. That looks strong enough form to defy a 4lb rise and can go in again. There was little separating third-placed Deep Spirit and Empire Of The Sun at Lingfield a fortnight ago while Obama Army and Golden Maverick are open to improvement now handicapping.
