Verdict
Equity Risk won a handicap at Leicester last time giving the impression today's extra furlong would suit. His only defeat came when held up off the pace so he's expected to race prominently in this. That could set the race up nicely for the fast-finishing LORD ASHLEY, who scored over 6f in a classified event here last month with a subsequent winner back in fourth. Tom Dascombe's charge gets the vote as the inconsistent Beach Club has two ways of running and posted one of his poor efforts at Warwick last time when behind third-placed Majestic Moon but ahead of Delores Rocket. Lightning Launch appears to be treading water off his current mark and Skytrain is unpredictable.
