Verdict
A winner at Beverley, Equitant failed to figure under a penalty at Hamilton and it remains to be seen how Ghepardo copes penalised for beating the re-opposing Episcia at Brighton recently. Leicester winner MARCHINGONTOGETHER beat Nampara on that occasion and was set a stiff task in the Windsor Castle at Ascot last time. Ivan Furtado’s filly gets another chance back at this level with Oswald perhaps best of the remainder.
