Equinity is well handicapped on her win here in the spring and first-time blinkers could ignite a return to form, but she's a risky betting proposition and we'll side with BOUNCY BOUNCY instead. Michael Bell's filly is the daughter of a multiple sprint winner so it was no surprise to see her make a winning handicap debut at Brighton when fitted with a tongue-tie. A 5lb rise appears fair, the extra half-furlong should suit and she's surely got improvement in her, hopefully enough to beat these. Dreamacha is due to go up another 2lb in future and as an unexposed sprinter who landed a touch for connections when last seen she's certainly feared along with Yarmouth scorer Double Carpet, although a wide draw isn't ideal for the latter as he likes to dominate.
