Majorie Fife trained the winner of the last renewal in 2016 and My Amigo, third in a valuable sprint at the Curragh last week makes most appeal of her two runners. Keith Dalgleish also runs two though the three-year-old Soldier's Minute has a tough task and Dark Defender is penalised for winning at Hamilton. Captain Jameson, Dalton and Gabrial The Devil are other three-year-olds in good form and the latter may prove best of Richard Fahey’s trio on today’s going with Paul Hanagan on board while a back-to-form Start Time is preferred of Paul Midgley’s three representatives ahead of Buccaneers Vault, who finished behind runner-up Kenny The Captain at Doncaster last time. Fast ground has restricted the progress of EQUITATION this year having won two of three outings last season. But a couple of placed efforts last month should see Roger Varian’s charge spot on today and he may well prove good enough in this.
