The progressive Shared Equity may not have finished improving yet after landing a double with victory at Pontefract. But more is needed raised a further 8lb while Mr McLaren has a 5lb rise to contend with after scoring at Thirsk. Lady Artiste, Talent Scout and Escape To Glory were all beaten last time having been raised in the weights for earlier wins so a chance is taken on ALMUHEET. He wasn't beaten that far when sixth in a Class 2 event at Goodwood and is facing an easier task in this.
