EQUILATERAL (4.10, nap) looks the measured choice in the Listed Cazoo Scarborough Stakes on the opening day of the St Leger meeting at Doncaster today.
Charlie Hills' veteran sprinter has proved this year he retains a lot of ability after a long absence.
He was an impressive one-and-three-quarter lengths third behind Ladies Church in the Sapphire Stakes at the Curragh in mid-July.
And there are excuses why he failed to fire at Goodwood two weeks later.
He is clearly the class horse in this field and that should allow him to land a first victory since winning at Meydan 18 months ago.
MODERN DANCER (2.25, nb) is the choice in the Cambion Electronics Nursery Handicap.
A maiden winner at Doncaster in June, the son of Kingman subsequently tried to concede weight all round in Yarmouth novice event but came up a couple of lengths short, prompting this switch to handicap company.
Beaten just two lengths by Seeking Gold, who had previously chased home Chaldean, Modern Dancer has plenty going for him off a mark of 85.
