Formscan - Dramatic Star and Too Bossy For Us are notable contenders for the shortlist. However, THE EQUATOR was a respectable fifth in the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot on his penultimate start and the son of Galileo didn't get the rub of the green at Navan most recently. He is a much more intriguing proposition with blinkers added this time and gets the vote as a result. Reaching High could prove to the main threat following his impressive win at Wolverhampton last time.
