EQUINUS (NAP) looked a little rusty in his jumping at Aintree on his reappearance but that didn’t prevent him returning the cosy winner of a conditionals’ race. He escapes a penalty for that success and can go in again. Several make their comebacks having won when last in action including Hititi, who landed a hat-trick back in the spring, while Emitom scored over track and trip in March and Young Butler was successful at Kempton in May.
