In depth
Verdict
Equidae got taken off his feet over 6f here earlier in the month and has a chance at the weights on previous form but DAAFR produced a career-best dropped to 7f in a better race here last week and can defy his penalty. Something must have been amiss with Luscifer here last time and he’s better than that while Wrath Of Hector can’t be ignored despite defeat in a three-runner race six days ago. Motawaafeq kept on to score over this distance here nine days ago but may struggle under 5lb extra in what is quite a competitive finale.
