Wiley Post is upped in class off a higher mark after scoring over 5f here while Daschas was placed over the minimum trip at Newmarket last week. It was heavy going when Bahamian Dollar won at Leicester last month and Glory of Paris is preferred now back on a winning mark. Stanhope has a bit to prove off his current mark having ended last season with a string of placed efforts but EQUITATION has lots of scope for further progress on the back of a close-up fifth in better company at Doncaster and Roger Varian’s charge may well prove the one to beat.
