Verdict
ISCHIA has yet to race over the minimum trip but was beaten only a nose at Brighton last time with La Equinata back in third and can confirm running. My Genghis disappointed dropped down to 5f at Windsor having ran well at Leicester before that while Oasis Gift has switched yards and been gelded since last year’s moderate efforts.
