EQUALLY FAST ran twice here last June and recorded a first and a second. He’s only 2lb higher now than for the victory and has been in good form at Lingfield this spring. Third on this card 12 months ago, fellow veteran Major Valentine lacks a recent run this year but Hollie Doyle rides and he’s not out of this. Symbol of Hope bids to follow up a Bath win under a penalty but neither Rhubarb nor Secretfact have a good record here.
