Verdict

EQUILATERAL failed to fire after his success in a big handicap at York last year but he had excuses on the first two occasions and is fancied to make a winning return from 4 months off if he can bounce back. Sakheer is unexposed and, although he has a lengthy absence to overcome, he has a big chance if retaining all of his ability. Funny Story has something to find on form but is the solid alternative with a good recent showing under her belt.
