Verdict
The vote goes to EQUITY LAW, who went down all guns blazing when overhauled close home by American Bay over this C&D in June and, now 5 lb better off with that rival, Tim Easterby's charge is taken to emerge on top this time. The selection was down the field at York last time, but that was a stronger race than this. American Bay also contested a handicap on the Knavesmire recently and is second choice, despite his rather up-and-down profile, while South Parade is another to consider.
