Verdict
A sixth course win could be on the cards for THOMAS EQUINAS, who took a strong hold when misfiring here last month and is better judged on his C&D success in October. Profitman was last in the six-runner handicap won by the selection last time but he will be in the thick of things if able to bounce back with the cheekpieces omitted. The picture would look somewhat different if Poetic Jack, who is due to run at Lingfield on Wednesday, takes his chance.
