Equiano Springs is a previous course winner who is racing off a 2lb lower mark than when successful last season at Newmarket. Dance Fever produced a career best when only beaten half-a-length in a Heritage Handicap at Ascot three weeks ago but he could probably have done without a 4lb rise. Volatile Analyst ran poorly at Royal Ascot but efforts either side of that at York and Ayr offer hope in this grade but MOTAWAAJED’s latest win at Lingfield has been franked and the handicapper may have let him lightly here considering further progress is likely. Admirality looks the pick of the remainder.
