    Verdict

    Mark Equal looks to have a great chance here and he is taken to score at the main expense of Dun An Doras and Duchamp. The selection has been a little disappointing on his last two starts but he now looks to have dropped to a handy mark and he should take plenty of beating. Dun An Doras is running consistently well and he is in good form so he should give him plenty to think about. However, he doesn't look the easiest to win with and he may have to settle for place money again today. Duchamp made an eyecatching return after over a year off the track last time at Newbury behind Great Travel. A watching brief on the market is advised because if there is market confidence behind him then it could pay to take the hint. Papua was disappointing last time but might be worth another chance. However, for the winner we return to Mark Equal
