Equimou went close at Chelmsford recently but has to race off a 7lb higher mark today though Shamshon has scored twice on the all-weather this year and can race off a 10lb lower mark here. Ornate landed a double at Southwell in January but hasn’t won on Turf since 2017 so a chance is taken on the returning MOVE IN TIME. The latter won over track and trip in May having finished runner-up in last year’s renewal before that and Paul Midgley’s sprinter has gone well fresh before. The winner of the Cornwallis over course and distance in 2017, Abel Handy has slipped down the weights while William Buick’s presence on Consequences takes the eye.
