EQUUS MILLAR was a useful performer at his best and, having dropped in the weights, has got back on track for his current yard. The 9-y-o can build on his runner-up effort last time to return to winning ways. Faint Hope produced a career-best when last seen and can go well with conditions to suit, while Crystal Gazing has only had 4 starts in handicaps and will benefit from going back up in trip.
