      Verdict

      Equality returned to action with a second over 6f at Lingfield. But he was no match for GOOD LISTENER when the latter scored over today’s trip at Windsor in October and the Hannon charge can make a winning reappearance now gelded with an apprentice’s allowance also helping his cause. Diamonds Dancing finished in front of Spirit Of Heaven when runner-up at Newcastle on his debut while General Sago drops down in trip after placing at Pontefract recently.
