This won't take much winning and EQUITATION sets the standard on his best form. He's not disgraced himself all year without winning but has to go close in this company with Oisin Murphy taking the ride. Nurse Florence has a bit to find on official figures but she's consistent which counts for a lot in this company. Good Earth can't be ruled out either.
