Verdict
EQUALITY showed a big improvement on his return to action when romping home by nearly five lengths at Windsor. He’s penalised but is due to be raised a further 7lb after this and should go in again. Lynns Boy won easily at Southwell but disappointed when favourite at Newcastle last time while Rebel At Dawn is back on a winning mark and gets a change of headgear. Ancient Times won twice over 6f last term and is 5lb higher than when last successful.
