7/2
Added to his good Newmarket record when winning an 8-runner handicap over C&D last month. Raised 3 lb but the capable Adam Farragher also takes 3 lb off. Bold bid likely.

Yet to score this term but plenty of respectable efforts for his new yard. Latest ninth of 11 at Yarmouth wasn't one of them, though. Bounce back needed.

Dual 7f winner at Yarmouth and Newbury this summer. Also a creditable third at latter venue on penultimate start and possibly unsuited by softer ground when below par at Ascot latest. Has form at 6f. William Buick takes the ride.

AW winner on final 2-y-o start. Shaped well from a tricky position when neck third to Radio Goo Goo on 6f Chester reappearance but below that level twice since. First run for new yard after leaving Alice Haynes.

Ran well to be placed at Sandown (5f) and Brighton (7f) in June but ran one of his lesser races when down the field over 5f here 3 weeks ago. Bounce back needed.

Won back to back over 6f at Newbury and Yarmouth in June. Respectable second back at Yarmouth on ha-trick bid 6 weeks ago. Sports first-time cheekpieces.

Off the mark at third attempt in 7-runner Lingfield novice (6f, good to firm) in June. Only a respectable fourth of 5 on his handicap debut back there since but he retains potential as an unexposed sort.

Got back on track in first-time blinkers when third of 8 in handicap at Leicester (7f, good to firm) last month but not in the same form when fifth over 7f here last Friday.

Improved again to get off the mark in a 6f Ascot handicap in May. Needs to shrug off a couple of lesser runs since but he does have the services of Oisin Murphy. v

33/1, left first 2 efforts this season well behind when winning 13-runner handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 42 days ago, suited by way race developed. Should remain competitive off 4 lb higher but he has yet to win from a mark in the 70s.

6/1
Has reacted well to a visor, getting off the mark in a 6f Windsor novice last month and looked a bit unlucky not to finish closer (denied a clear run) when third of 8 in handicap there 3 weeks later. Respected.

Forecasts

Equiano Springs (7/2), Flying Secret (6/1), Lady Dreamer (6/1), Prospering (7/1), Rathbone (8/1), Ice Cool Harry (8/1), Champagne Sarah (11/1), Dashing Dick (12/1), Distinguished Lady (12/1), Tolstoy (22/1), Golden Duke (25/1)

Verdict

EQUIANO SPRINGS has his 3 lb rise for last month's C&D success offset by Adam Farragher's claim and might be able to follow up. Lady Dreamer can extend her run of good efforts since visored to 3 and provide the chief threat ahead of Clive Cox's Ice Cool Harry.
